Among likely swing state voters, 93% of Democrats anticipate a second wave of coronavirus, vs. 21% of Republicans, a new CNBC/ChangePolls survey finds.
Voters in swing states are sharply divided along partisan lines over the coronavirus pandemic with just under six months to go before Election Day, according to a new CNBC/Change Research poll.
Republicans were far more likely to say that corporations should be shielded from liability if their customers or employees contract the virus and sue, while Democrats said they were taking more precautions, such as wearing masks and avoiding restaurants. The data sheds new light on the battle between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, which is being waged in the shadow of the worst public health crisis in living memory.In a hypothetical match-up, Trump holds a narrow, 48%-46% lead over Biden among all the battleground voters surveyed, including a 41%-32% lead among independents. He also leads Biden 51%-40% in who would do a better job handling the economy.
Among both Democrats and independents, the most common word used in responses to the survey was "incompetent." In contrast, Republicans used words like "good," "great," "best," and "excellent."Democrats and independent voters in the swing states are far more likely than Republicans to be pessimistic about the prospects of containing the pandemic.
