Biden holds 13-point lead over Trump in Florida: poll

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has opened up a 13-point lead over President Trump in the key battleground state of Florida, according to a new poll.

The former vice president leads Trump 51 percent to 38 percent in the latest Quinnipiac poll released Thursday, a sharp increase since Florida voters were last surveyed by the pollster in April, when Biden led Trump 46 percent to 42 percent.

The president’s disapproval rating in the state also increased, according to the Quinnipiac poll. In April, 51 percent of Florida voters disapproved of the job Trump was doing. That number has since gone up, with 58 percent of voters polled in the state disapproving of the president’s performance.

In the poll, nearly 60 percent of Florida voters said they disapproved of how the president was handling the coronavirus, with just 37 percent saying they approved. A majority of those surveyed — 70 percent — described the spread of the virus in Florida to be "out of control,” and 83 percent said it was a serious problem.
