Poll: Biden maintains double-digit lead over Trump
Former Vice President Joe Biden continues to lead President Donald Trump by a wide margin nationally, a new poll released Thursday shows, as the race for the White House stabilizes, at least for the time being, with Biden well in front.
The Monmouth University poll shows Biden with a 12-point nationwide lead over the president, 53 percent to Trump’s 41 percent among registered voters. Last month, Monmouth’s poll told a similar story, with the presumptive Democratic nominee holding 52 percent support compared to Trump’s 41 percent.
Thursday’s survey highlighted one of Trump’s major obstacles to reelection — the amount of the electorate which has made up its mind against him. Half of registered voters say they are not at all likely to support Trump, while 39 percent say the same for Biden.
Whereas Trump benefited from a relatively unpopular opponent in 2016 when running against Hillary Clinton, Biden’s favorability ratings this cycle present a different challenge. Forty-four percent of voters view the former vice president favorably, the same percentage that view him unfavorably. Trump’s favorability rating, by comparison, is 17 points underwater.
