A new CNN national poll is a scary reading for US President Donald Trump and his election campaign.
Never before has Trump been so far behind his opponent Joe Biden, the former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate.
In the poll, Biden has 57 percent support. That’s a 16 percentage point lead for Trump, who has 41 percent support.
The measurement has a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points, according to CNN. Therefore, the bidet management can be even higher, but it can also be less.
The role model from hell
After the debate
The poll was conducted after last week’s presidential debate between Trump and Biden. Much of this was also implemented after Trump’s crown disease was made public, but it was completed before the president was discharged from the hospital Tuesday night, according to CNN.
Therefore, it is uncertain how Trump’s impeachment affects the president’s support.
The measurement results still fit a pattern. In all national polls, Biden leads Trump between five and now 16 percentage points.
The poll also shows that voters prefer Biden’s solutions to Trump’s on a wide range of issues.
Crown winner
In addition to being asked who they would have voted for, participants were also asked which candidate policy they preferred on a number of important issues in the US elections.
59 percent of respondents are more confident that Biden will handle the crown crisis better than Trump, again 59 percent are more confident that Biden will provide better health care than Trump, but voters are roughly divided on the middle in the question of which of the candidates. who will run the economy better.
Overall, 52 percent of American voters have a positive opinion of Biden, while only 39 percent have a positive opinion of Trump, according to the poll.
But there is also a catch in measurement.

National, not local
The survey was conducted at the national level and was not broken down by state. It is of great importance in the United States, where it is not the one who gets the most votes at the national level who wins the presidential elections, but the candidate who gets more than 270 electoral votes.
In the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton received almost three million more votes than Trump, but still lost because Trump received more of the so-called electoral votes.
Each U.S. state has a certain number of electoral votes and, with the exception of two states, Nebraska and Maine, it is the candidate who gets the most votes in the specific state who gets all the electoral votes. in the state in the so-called winner-take-all system.
Lost by 80,000 votes
Therefore, a few thousand votes in certain states can be decisive for the president of the United States to be named Donald Trump or Joe Biden after this year’s election.
This was the case in 2016, among other places.
With about 80,000 votes in total, Hillary Clinton lost the electorate of the three states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and therefore also the country in the previous presidential elections.
Trump won these states by 0.2, 0.7 and 0.8 percentage points, respectively, which took him over the decisive limit of 270 electoral votes.
