Seniors turn against trump- Monmouth (A+) Poll: Biden leads 59 - 38 with voters 65+ years.



Monmouth University released a national poll today with Biden leading trump 53 - 41, a little higher than the 538 average of 51.1- 41.5. Amongst voters aged 65+ years Biden leads 59 - 38. 50% of voters have ruled out voting for trump.

National: More Voters Rule Out Trump Than Biden

... Biden currently has the support of 53% of registered voters and Trump has the support of 41%. This is similar to the Democrat’s 52% to 41% lead in early June. Biden’s edge stood at 50% to 41% in May, 48% to 44% in April, and 48% to 45% in March.

Slightly more voters say they are certain about their support for Biden (40%) than say the same about Trump (34%). Fully half (50%), though, say they are not at all likely to support the incumbent while 39% say the same about the challenger.

... “Half of all registered voters have ruled out backing Trump. Trump showed in 2016 that he can thread the needle, but these results suggest the president has even less room for error in 2020. He must convert some of those unlikely supporters if he is to win a second term,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
