Former Vice President Joe Biden is pummeling President Donald Trump by “a landslide,” according to a recent national poll.
Biden leads Trump, 53% to 40%, in a one-on-one matchup, according to the poll released by Quinnipiac University Tuesday. Biden’s double-digit lead is spurred by a gender gap. Among potential women voters, Biden has a substantial lead, 60% to 34%, while among men, Biden has a narrow lead on Trump, 47% to 46%.
While Trump also lags behind five other Democratic presidential candidates in the same poll, it’s Biden’s 13% lead that jumps out, said Tim Malloy, the Quinnipiac poll’s assistant director.
“It’s a long 17 months to Election Day, but Joe Biden is ahead by landslide proportions,” he said of the survey of 1,214 voters nationwide conducted in June.
It could be a tough race, though as the Quinnipiac poll shows, white voters are split between the two candidates with Trump at 47% and Biden at 46%. However, among black voters, Biden leads overwhelmingly at 85% to 12%, and among Hispanic voters, 58% to 33%.
