The president’s halting handling of the coronavirus and controversial response to protests over the death of George Floyd have caused his job approval rating to fall and former Vice President Joe Biden to surge in the 2020 presidential race, four new national polls show.
President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus and protests over the death of George Floyd have caused Trump’s approval rating to fall and former Vice President Joe Biden to surge in the 2020 presidential race, four new national polls released in the past week show.
Americans widely disapprove of Trump’s handling of race relations in general , while 65 percent say the president’s response to the recent protests over Floyd’s death has been more harmful than helpful. • An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday found Biden maintaining a 7-point edge over Trump among registered voters, unchanged from April. But the survey showed Biden has a 21-point lead over the president among women, a remarkable figure when you consider Hillary Clinton’s edge over Trump among women was 13 points in 2016, exit polls showed. The NBC/WSJ poll also showed most voters disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president, compared with 45 percent who do.
Story continues• A Reuters/Ipsos poll last week found similar support for the protesters and disapproval of Trump. More than 55 percent of Americans said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the protest, to just one-third showing approval. That poll showed Biden with a 10-point lead over the president in the general election matchup.
