Biden tops Trump in CNN polls for Michigan, Florida, Arizona
NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) - Another wave of opinion polls released on Sunday (July 26) showed voters leaning to Democrat Joe Biden over President Donald Trump in Michigan, Florida and Arizona, three key states won by Trump in 2016. Handling of the coronavirus spells trouble for Trump, according to pollsters, as US cases now exceed 4 million and deaths are over 146,000. The US election is 100 days away but early voting will start in some states in as few as five weeks. Biden is ahead in Arizona by 49 per cent to 45 per cent among registered voters, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS, a survey and market research firm. Another Arizona poll released on Sunday, from NBC News/Marist, put Biden up by 5 percentage points, 50 per cent to 45 per cent. Arizona voters said Biden would do a better job handling the Covid-19 outbreak and race relations. Trump's supporters were more enthusiastic than Biden's, though - a factor that the president and his re-election campaign have emphasised.
