Democrat Joe Biden's lead has expanded to double-digits against President Trump in November, an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds. Meanwhile, though 71% of Americans now see the coronavirus as a real threat, 35% say they won't get vaccinated.
All of that helps explain Biden's expanded lead and where the vote is coming from. Biden has now reached a majority with independents and leads Trump with this crucial group by 16 percentage points.Biden also has significant advantages with Black voters, young voters, whites with a college degree and suburban voters. Trump draws his strongest support from white evangelical Christians, whites without a college degree and those who live in rural areas.
That year, Carter got 48% of the white vote and won in an electoral landslide, but only by 2 percentage points in the popular vote. Back then, whites made up almost 9-in-10 voters. Even though Clinton led for most of 2016 in surveys, the election broke late in Trump's direction because of those voters who said they were undecided and said they disliked both candidates.The one positive sign for Trump continues to be the strong backing of his supporters. His voters are more enthusiastically behind him than Biden — 76% of them say they strongly support the president versus 64% of Biden's.
