A month before the presidential election in the United States, Democrat Joe Biden retains the advantage over current President Donald Trump in the national vote. It is reported by Reuters after a poll. But to become president, a candidate must also receive a sufficient score from the electoral college.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is 10 percentage points ahead of his rival, incumbent Republican Donald Trump, according to a poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos and released on October 4.
51% of respondents who intend to vote supported Biden, 41% of respondents expressed support for Trump. 4% have chosen a third party candidate, another 4% have not yet decided on the choice.
A month before the presidential election, Biden retained the advantage in the national vote, but to become president, a candidate must win enough states to obtain the required score in the electoral college, Reuters recalls. At the same time, polls in the most competitive states show that Trump is almost as popular there as Biden.
57% of Americans surveyed said they did not approve of Trump’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, three points more than in the previous poll.
65% of respondents, including nine out of 10 registered Democrats and five out of 10 registered Republicans, agree that if President Trump had taken the coronavirus more seriously, he probably would not have been infected.
Only 34% of those surveyed said they believe Trump is telling them the truth about the coronavirus, while 55% said he was not and 11% were unsure.
The survey was conducted online throughout the United States. 1,005 American adults attended.
The previous poll, the data of which was released on September 16, showed Biden’s separation from Trump by 9% of the vote.
The US presidential elections are scheduled for November 2020. The main rivals will be Biden and Trump.
