Source: Newsweek
Dramatically fewer voters said they intend to cast ballots for President Donald Trump after he was diagnosed with COVID-19, according to a new poll.
A poll released Tuesday by Franklin Pierce University and The Boston Herald shows Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's lead grew from 5 percent before the positive test result to 21 percent after Trump's diagnosis was announced.
Biden was supported by 46 percent of likely voters compared to 41 percent for Trump during the two days before his infection was revealed, while 55 percent said they would vote for Biden and only 34 percent stuck with Trump in the three days after the diagnosis.

(4,667 posts)The survey was conducted partly before and partly after the diagnosis. The result from all five days of polling is Biden +14 (51-37).
Franklin Pierce has a B/C rating at 538, with less than 1 point of bias.
