Biden Pulls Away from Trump
October 6, 2020 at 6:35 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new CNN poll finds Joe Biden’s advantage over Donald Trump has widened among likely voters to 57% to 41%.

“Likely voters broadly prefer Biden over Trump on a number of issues that voters consider critically important in the race, including the coronavirus outbreak (59% prefer Biden, 38% Trump), health care (59% to 39%), racial inequality in America (62% to 36%), nominations to the Supreme Court (57% to 41%) and crime and safety (55% to 43%).”

“The two are about even over who would better handle the economy (50% say Biden, 48% Trump), similar to where they have been among registered voters in recent polling.”
