Biden leads Trump in USA TODAY/Suffolk poll amid concerns over the president's handling of the coronavirus pandemic
“I had to give up watching the White House briefings,” said Democrat Eric Haenfler, 67, a retired music teacher and band director from Gilbert, Arizona, who was called in the poll. “I couldn’t stand to watch him say ignorant things. They were just campaign rallies and gave no information – and what information he was giving was false and sometimes dangerous.”
Trump’s backing in the GOP remains rock-solid: More than nine of 10 Republicans say they will vote for him. But among independents, his standing has plummeted by 18 percentage points since the poll taken in December, to 27% from 45%. Asked about a half-dozen traits important for a president to have, views of Trump were more firmly set than they were for Biden. That leaves more room for a campaign to define the Democratic challenger in both positive and negative ways.
