Biden Crushes Sanders In Democratic Race, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; More Disapprove Of Trump's Response To Coronavirus
Share
In the wake of Super Tuesday and as the Democratic contest has narrowed to essentially a two-person race, 54 percent of Democrats and independents who lean Democratic say they would like to see former Vice President Joe Biden win the Democratic nomination for president, while 35 percent would like to see Senator Bernie Sanders win the nomination, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today.
"It's down to two and looks very much like the Biden resurgence could be a fatal blow to the Sanders revolution," said Quinnipiac University Poll Analyst Tim Malloy.
Biden is viewed as more electable than Sanders. While 80 percent of Democrats and independents who lean Democratic say it is either very likely (36 percent) or somewhat likely (44 percent) that Biden would win against President Trump, 61 percent say it is either very likely (20 percent) or somewhat likely (41 percent) that Sanders would win against Trump.
Biden is also viewed more favorably than Sanders. While 77 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners have a favorable opinion of Biden and 13 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him, 71 percent have a favorable view of Sanders and 17 percent have an unfavorable view of him.
THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
In head to head matchups with President Trump among registered voters, Biden gets support from more than half of registered voters against the incumbent president, while Sanders does not. Biden leads Trump 52 - 41 percent, and Sanders leads Trump 49 - 42 percent.
Looking at favorabilities among registered voters, Biden is by far the most favorably viewed. Biden is viewed favorably by 45 percent and unfavorably by 40 percent, while Sanders gets a negative 40 - 46 percent favorability rating. Trump is the least popular of the three candidates with a negative 39 - 58 percent favorability rating.
Biden and Sanders also do better than Trump when it comes to candidate traits. While 62 percent say Sanders is honest and 51 percent say Biden is honest, only 33 percent say Trump is honest. Biden has good leadership skills say 52 percent of voters, while 45 percent say Sanders has good leadership skills and 42 percent say Trump has good leadership skills. On empathy, 64 percent say Sanders cares about average Americans, while 59 percent say Biden cares about average Americans, and 43 percent say Trump cares about average Americans.
Both Biden and Sanders beat Trump on the question of who would do a better job handling a crisis. Biden beats Trump 56 - 40 percent on this question, while Sanders tops Trump 50 - 44 percent.
"Perhaps most troubling for the Trump camp in these numbers is the comparative assessment of which candidate can handle a crisis: it is Biden hands down. Couple that with an approval rating frozen in the low forties and comparatively terrible numbers on leadership, honesty, and empathy for fellow Americans, and team Trump has a formidable fight ahead," Malloy added.
PRESIDENT TRUMP APPROVAL RATINGS
President Trump continues to hold onto his positive approval rating for his handling of the economy, as 54 percent of voters say they approve of his handling of the economy, while 42 percent disapprove. The numbers are nearly reversed, however, when it comes to President Trump's handling of foreign policy, as 40 percent approve and 56 percent disapprove. The president's overall job approval rating remains in negative territory as 41 percent approve of the job he is doing as president, while 54 percent disapprove. His 41 percent approval is nonetheless just two points shy of his high watermark of 43 percent approval, which he hit in several polls since December.
"It is not all bad news for President Trump. The silver lining to his mediocre approval rating is an impressive thumbs up on the economy. But the big question remains: what happens going forward as uncertainty over the coronavirus fallout hangs a dark shadow over the global economy?" Malloy added.
THE CORONAVIRUS
When it comes to the way President Trump is handling the response to the coronavirus, 43 percent of registered voters approve, while 49 percent disapprove. There are sharp divides along political parties, similar to the president's overall job approval rating: 87 percent of Republicans approve, 83 percent of Democrats disapprove, and 50 percent of independents disapprove.
More than half of voters, 54 percent, are either very or somewhat concerned that they or someone they know will be infected with the coronavirus, compared to 45 percent who say they are not so concerned or not concerned at all. Democrats are the most concerned, saying they are very or somewhat concerned 68 - 31 percent, followed by independents who say they are very or somewhat concerned 57 - 43 percent. Republicans are the least concerned, saying they are not so concerned or not concerned at all 63 - 35 percent.
Nearly 6 in 10 voters, or 58 percent, say they are either very or somewhat concerned the coronavirus will disrupt their daily lives, regardless of whether or not they or someone they know is infected.
More American voters have confidence in the U.S. health care system to handle the response to the coronavirus than they do the federal government. Two-thirds of voters, 66 percent, have confidence in the U.S. health care system to handle the response to the coronavirus, while 30 percent do not. That compares to 53 percent of voters who say they have confidence in the federal government to handle the response to the coronavirus, while 43 percent say they do not.
ATTITUDES ABOUT THE ECONOMY
In today's poll, which was completed before the stock market plummeted Monday morning, voters remain positive about the U.S. economy as 66 percent of voters describe the U.S. economy as excellent or good. That compares to 70 percent who responded the same way on February 10th.
Despite that positive view, 57 percent of voters say it's very or somewhat likely that there will be an economic recession in the next year, and 39 percent say it's not so likely or not likely at all. This is little changed from voters who said 56 - 37 percent that a recession was very or somewhat likely in October 2019.
From March 5 - 8, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,261 self-identified registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points. The survey includes 559 Democratic voters and independent voters who lean Democratic with a margin of error of +/- 4.2 percentage points.
