Biden leads Trump on who voters trust to deal with the coronavirus by a whopping 20 points—54 percent to 34 percent.
The increased advantage for Biden comes as Americans increasingly trust the former vice president over Trump in handling the coronavirus pandemic. When the question is about who voters trust on the economy Trump still leads—47 percent to 45 percent—although by a notably narrower margin than in March when he enjoyed an eight-point lead on the issue.
The Washington Post/ABC News poll released Sunday is the fifth consecutive high-quality national poll that shows Biden ahead of Trump by at least 10 points,. That is a historic advantage and marks the widest margin for a challenger since Bill Clinton. That is in large part due to the coronavirus but also because Biden’s long career has made it more difficult for Trump’s campaign to figure out an effective line of attack that could help negatively define the presumptive Democratic nominee.
