BREAKING: Joe Biden got a boost from the DNC, putting him in better shape than Hillary Clinton four years ago, per new ABC /Ipsos poll.
His favorability climbed to 86% among Democrats from 79% in the last survey. Biden's highest favorability across racial groups continues to be among Black Americans, with 69% viewing him favorably, compared to 39% of whites and 52% of Hispanics.
November's vote may be a referendum on Trump, but the campaign appears to be about Biden's ability to woo voters to reject the president. While Trump's approval has seen little movement, Biden's above-water marks represent a significant turn for the 77-year-old, who enters the fall, and general election debate season, in a better position than Hillary Clinton in 2016.
