Note in particular the "cares about people like me" and "honest and trustworthy" numbers. Hillary's were just as bad as Donald's. Uncle Joe's are decidedly better while Donald's haven't improved in the slightest.
Six months before Election Day, the coronavirus pandemic has done what impeachment did not: Cost President Donald Trump his advantage over Joe Biden in the 2020 campaign.
A new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll shows the former vice president leading Trump nationwide by 6 percentage points, 44% to 38%, a shift from Trump's 3-point lead in the survey as he was being impeached by the House in December. In a contest without a third-party contender, Biden's margin jumps to 10 points, 50% to 40%.
- "Cares about people like me." Biden swamped Trump when it came to empathy; 57% said it described the former vice president; just 39% said it described the president.
- "Stands up for U.S. interests." Biden scored better on what has been a rallying cry for Trump and his troops. By 58% to 34%, those surveyed said that described Biden; by 53% to 43% they said it described Trump.
- "Honest and trustworthy." This was Trump’s worst rating. By more than 2-1, 64% to 31%, those surveyed said that trait didn’t describe him. Views of Biden were better, although not exactly glowing. By 47% to 43%, those surveyed said he was honest and trustworthy.
- "Can work with foreign leaders." Biden was much more likely to be seen as someone who could do this; 64% said it described the former vice president and 45% said it described the current president.
