Biden Would Beat Trump by a Landslide, New Reuters Poll Shows

VOA News

   Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden would beat U.S. President
   Donald Trump in a landslide if the election were held today, a new poll
   shows.

   The new survey by Reuters-Ipsos has 48% of respondents saying they
   would cast their ballots for Biden and 35% for Trump.

   The poll shows 40% approving of the way Trump has handled the
   coronavirus outbreak, with 55% giving him a thumbs down.

   Overall, the survey gives Trump a 38% approval rating. But there is
   some good news for the president. The Reuters poll shows respondents
   believe he would be better for the economy than Biden, 43% to 38%.

   Separately, a CNBC-Change Research poll has Biden leading the president
   in six so-called swing states -- states likely to decide the outcome of
   the November election -- Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina,
   Pennsylvaniaand Wisconsin.

   But Biden's lead over Trump in those states is relatively slight -- 48%
   to 45%.
