Former Vice President Joe Biden doubled his lead over President Trump to 12 points as voters expressed disapproval with the Trump administration's handling of the coronavirus, racial tensions and the economy, according to the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill.

Fifty-six percent of likely voters said they would vote for Biden if the election was held today, while 44 percent said they would back Trump, wider than the Democrat's 6-point lead in the same poll last month.

The poll is in line with recent national surveys showing Trump losing ground, including in battleground states that will determine the election, as voters sour on his responses to several crises hitting the country, including most recently the nationwide protests after the police killing of George Floyd.

Forty-three percent of voters said they approved for Trump, down 4 points from the last Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey and the lowest since early 2018. Meanwhile, 57 percent of voters said they disapproved of the president.

4. I'll believe THAT one when I see it...

Haven't we learned anything from previous elections? Florida always seems to turn out around 5% more Republican than polls would indicate. In years when it was predicted to be "lean Democratic," it winds up with a narrow Republican win. In years when polls call it a toss-up, Republicans wind up winning easily (as in networks calling the race within ten minutes of polls closing). Seriously, it always turns out that Republicans do considerably better in Florida than expected. I wouldn't be putting my hopes there, if I were the Biden campaign.
