Trump losing independent support, poll shows
-- Joe Biden now leads Donald Trump 44% to 38% nationally as the president has lost support from independent voters, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Monday.
The USA Today/Suffolk poll differs from other national surveys because it gives respondents the option of a third-party candidate. Without that option, Biden led Trump 50% to 40%. He added that he has not filed any official paperwork and had only authorized a letter of interest be sent on his behalf to the Green Party.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Columbus last week chanting “Open Ohio” and “Tyrant DeWine” as part of a recent wave of national protests of lockdown orders. Trump has encouraged the protests on Twitter.
