Biden is improving on Clintonâs performance vs. Trump almost across the board. But his lead with college-educated white women is just staggering.
In 2016, Clinton carried that group by 7 points. Biden is now leading by 39 points. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/us/politics/trump-biden-poll-nyt-upshot-siena-college.html

Trump inspires far stronger feelings among voters than Biden does. But those feelings are mainly very negative.
Biden isnât ahead by double digits because of his own runaway popularity. Itâs because heâs broadly acceptable as an alternative to a strongly disliked incumbent.

It is not hard to envision how this race could narrow again: Biden is benefiting right now from Trumpâs new weakness among somewhat conservative voters, whites and men. We havenât really seen that before and so we have no way of knowing how lasting that shift might be.
But at the moment, Trump is deeply unpopular and losing the argument to his political opposition by lopsided margins on the two most urgent issues of the moment: the coronavirus pandemic and race relations/racial justice. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/us/politics/trump-biden-poll-nyt-upshot-siena-college.html
There has been a fair amount of lightly informed punditry in recent months predicting that the country would rebel against lockdown orders out of impatience to reopen the economy.
So it is worth stressing that 3.5 months into this crisis that has absolutely not happened.

I hope youâll spend some time with our poll today & stick with us in the coming days. This is a deep look at the U.S. electorate as it faces an immense political choice in a climate of instability, anxiety, human and economic loss and rapid social change. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/us/politics/trump-biden-poll-nyt-upshot-siena-college.html
