Biden Holds Big Lead Nationally

June 30, 2020 · 2:26 pm ET · Leave a Comment

A new Pew Research poll finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the presidential race, 54% to 44%.

The backdrop: “Anger and fear are widespread. Majorities of Democrats and Republicans say they feel both sentiments when thinking about the country, though these feelings are more prevalent among Democrats. And just 17% of Americans – including 25% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents and 10% of Democrats and Democratic leaners – say they feel proud when thinking about the state of the country.”

Trump’s approval rate is now 20 points underwater, 39% to 59%.

Meanwhile, a new Suffolk University poll finds Biden leading nationally, 53% to 41%.
