Coronavirus infected the election.
The virus is the top issue to voters, over half of them disapprove of how President Trump’s handling it, and they increasingly trust Joe Biden to do a better job on it. That keeps Biden ahead in the presidential race, according to a Fox News survey of registered voters.That advantage is outside the margin of error.
However, the number of Biden supporters who are extremely likely to vote drops 25 points if the virus is hitting so hard in November as to, for instance, close restaurants. Because the drop-off would just be 16 points among Trump supporters, that puts Biden’s lead at just 3 points over the president in that still-raging coronavirus scenario.
Voters believe Trump lacks the key traits for the Oval Office: less than half think he has the mental soundness , intelligence , and judgment to serve effectively as president. For reference, 36 percent felt he had the necessary judgment in October 2016, less than a month before his election victory.
Twenty-nine percent rank coronavirus the No. 1 problem facing the country. That tops the 15 percent who cite the economy and 10 percent who say race relations. Trump’s overall job rating is upside-down by 9 points: 45 percent approve and 54 percent disapprove. Last month, it was 44-55 percent. His best ratings, 49-49 percent, came in April.Majorities favor a national stay-in-place order for everyone except essential workers and a national mask-wearing order for indoor spaces .
There’s also a partisan gap. More Republicans than Democrats say schools should reopen to some extent, while nearly four times as many Democrats as Republicans prefer fully remote.
