Voters prefer Biden to Trump on almost all major issues, the poll show


New York Times / Siena College College polls show that Biden is in favor of President Trump from 100 percent to 411 percent, with voters backing him by a wide margin on the coronavirus and law and order.

Joseph R. Biden Jr. has a nine-point lead over President Trump, amid widespread public alarm about the path to the coronavirus epidemic and a demand among voters to take massive steps in government to improve the economy, according to a national poll of potential voters by The New York Times and Siena College.

With just two weeks left in the campaign, Mr. Trump has no preconceived notions on any of the issues at stake in the election, and he has little chance for a political recovery in the absence of the haphazard mistake made by Democratic Mr. Biden. Nominations, in the coming days. The president has also lost his long-term advantage over economic affairs: voters are now evenly divided over whether they have more confidence in him or whether Mr Biden will run the economy.

On all other subjects tested in the polls, voters chose Mr. Biden by Mr. Trump’s reasonable or wide margin. Former Vice President Mr. Biden could take the coronavirus epidemic by 12 points in favor of Mr. Trump, and voters trust Mr. Biden to select Supreme Court judges and maintain law and order by six points. Margin. Americans see Mr. Biden as more capable of uniting the country by about 20 points.

The poll found Biden likely to have the support of 0 percent of potential voters, compared to 1 percent for Mr. Trump and 1 percent for other candidates.

For the most part, the poll shows that the electorate is ready to reject Mr. Trump because they can’t follow his lead, with 56 percent of women and 53 percent of white voters who have a college degree saying he’s Mr. Very adverse effect. Trump – Extraordinary level of antipathy towards the incumbent President

His low position on economic matters and law and order is a detrimental shock to the president, who has done his luck in convincing most Americans in the general election that the Biden administration will leave them poor and insecure. But that argument has not succeeded in moving the voter in their direction.

According to the poll, there are also no attempts by Mr. Trump to tarnish Mr. Biden’s personal image and make it unacceptable to swing voters. If 43 percent of voters said they view Mr. Biden in a certain or very favorable way, compared to what 43 percent said was the same as Trump.

A majority of voters said they viewed Mr. Trump unfavorably, while 48 percent saw him as very unfavorable.

The sample error margin for the poll, which was conducted between 15 and 18 Oct, was 3.4 percentage points.

Part of the shift from Mr. Trump to the economy may be to quench the urgency of voters for the federal government’s new relief spending – which Mr. Trump has narrowly endorsed, but he has not actively sought to oust Republicans from Congress.

Seven out of 10 voters, including more than half of Republicans, said they would like to see a new multitrillion-dollar stimulus program that includes government support for citizens and emergency assistance for state and local governments. Suggested to Mr. Bide as a form of economic stimulus. There is also widespread public support for the ટ્ર 2 trillion renewable energy holiday and infrastructure package.

Minnesota independent Michael Zemitis said he did not have full confidence in Mr. Biden but saw Mr. Trump as a clear alternative when it came to epidemics and the economy.

“I think I would say I have 70 percent confidence in him,” said Mr Zematis, 49, who said he believed the Democratic administration would better handle the coronavirus epidemic. “Once it is dealt with, then the economy will be in line again.”

Voters are also not disappointed by Mr. Trump’s insistence, ignoring public facts, that the coronavirus is re-emerging as a problem. Thinner voters said they believe the worst epidemics are yet to come, compared with 37 percent saying the worst is over.

But many voters also seem to distinguish their personal well-being from their views on the state of their country. About half said they were personally better than four years ago, while 5 percent said they were worse. However, a clear majority of voters – one per cent – said the country was performing worse than in 2001.

Mr. Trump has maintained some important bases of support, especially among white voters without a college degree, who favor Mr. Biden by 23 percentage points. But that lead is far less than what Mr. Trump did among the less educated whites in 2016, when those voters voted for him 37 points more than Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Biden is on track to win with overwhelming support from women, people of color, and white people with college degrees. If women alone voted, the election would be an epic proportion of landslides: Mr. Biden is 23 points ahead of Mr. Trump among women voters, or 58 percent to 35 percent more. And unlike four years ago, the Democratic nominee is leading Mr. Trump by a strong margin among white women, from 52 percent to 43 percent.

Catherine Jorgensen, 51, a registered Republican in Brookfield, Wis., Said she did not vote for Mr. Trump in 2016 and will not do so this year. Mr Trump said he had been “so divisive” during his tenure as president.

“The important thing is to bring the country back together and address the sectors that affect people like ethnic equity,” Ms. Jorgensen said.

A rare source of welcome news for Republicans came on the subject of Judge Amy Connie Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court: while more voters said they wanted to see Mr. Biden choose future judges to replace Mr. Trump, a majority of voters also said the Senate Nominations should be voted on.

Voters were evenly divided on Ms. Barrett as the candidate, showing that neither party had the benefit of a clear election in the Supreme Court fight. But the majority of voters – about one in seven – did not vote, suggesting that the court battle did not become an all-user issue. Twenty-four percent of voters supported Judge Barrett’s nomination, 422 percent opposed it, and the rest refused to accept the position.

If Mr. Bidens wins the election, it remains to be seen whether he will be president enough to organize a wide range of anti-Trump constituencies into a strong governing alliance.

Cassandra Williams, 21, of Greenville, NC, said she saw Mr. Biden as a guilty candidate, which might be enough for that moment. Ms. of a college college student participating in chemistry. Williams said he hopes to focus on coronavirus and climate change as soon as he takes office.

Ms. who supported Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary race. “If it weren’t for President Trump, he would have been a subversive candidate,” Williams said.

Polls show Mr. Trump facing widespread rebuke because he failed to meet the great challenge of his presidency.

Voters are deeply concerned about the virus, with 51 percent of those samples saying they feared the worst result of Covid-19, and only 37 percent said they believed it had gone bad. Among Trump voters over the years, a group that has distanced itself from Mrs. Trump, the difference was even better: Fifty-six percent said they were worried the worst was yet to come, and only 29 percent said the opposite.

What was even more surprising was the connection between Mr. Trump’s equestrian approach to wearing a mask to protect against the virus and the widespread support for ordering the practice in public.

Voters supported wearing the mandatory mask, which increased from 39 percent to women percent, and women’s support for the mandate increased to percent percent. Of the more than 65 voters, 68 percent favored it, and about 100 percent of Republicans said they supported the nationwide need.

Percent 33 percent said they would definitely or probably not get vaccinated after getting FDA approval, saying they were hesitant to get the final vaccine for coronavirus.

Mr. Biden, if he wins, will agree on some of his policy priorities. Two out of three voters allowing the federal government to buy a health insurance plan, a so-called public option, and the same supermajority backed Mr Biden’s 2 2 trillion plan to increase the use of renewable energy and build energy-efficient infrastructure.

Even more voters, one percent, said they support the type of package Mr. Trump has been sending for months: a બે 2 trillion stimulus package that would increase unemployment insurance, send stimulus checks and provide financial assistance to most Americans. State and local governments.

As an indication of how widespread support for additional relief is, and if the risk will be borne by Republicans in Congress, even if they prevent further spending, 56 percent of Republicans said they support another trillion-dollar package.

What could be dangerous for Mr Biden and his party, however, is the point he has sought to avoid maintaining a clear position for weeks: to add more judges to the Supreme Court. The poll showed that 58 percent of voters said Democrats shouldn’t extend the court to more than nine judges, and 31 percent said they should. Opposition was even stronger among independents: Fifty-five percent said they were opposed to extending the court.
