Biden leads Trump by 11 points in potential 2020 matchup: Poll
Former Vice President Joe Biden leads US President Donald Trump by 11 points in a potential 2020 matchup, a new poll reveals.
A Politico/Morning Consult poll published on Wednesday finds 46 percent of voters would support Biden in a potential 2020 matchup, compared with 35 percent who would back Trump.
On Monday, Biden indicated that he may challenge Trump in 2020. He made the remarks in an interview with NBC News while promoting his new book, Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose.
“I honest-to-God haven’t made up my mind about that,” Biden, who is turning 75 later this month, told NBC journalists. “I'm not closing the door. I've been around too long, and I'm a great respecter of fate, but who knows what the situation is going to be a year-and-a-half from now.”
According to the poll, a majority of white voters are divided in the matchup, with 41 percent saying they would support Biden and 40 percent backed Trump.
In the Midwest however, Biden has a 9-point lead over Trump in the potential matchup.
Biden is a strong critic of Trump and his leadership style. He has accused his administration of misunderstanding and misrepresenting the American values.
