The survey found that just one in four voters (24%) think the country is moving in the right direction – a key question in the run-up to a national election – and more than twice as many voters said that Biden’s policies had personally hurt them than those who said they had helped.

Of the two-thirds of the country that feels the nation is headed in the wrong direction, the poll found that 63% said they would vote for Trump.

In the Bloomberg survey, a large share of the respondents voiced concerns with Biden’s age and a significant percentage said Trump was dangerous, and suggested the number of “double haters”, as pollsters call voters who approve of neither candidate, is significant.

    The Siena College-conducted poll, commissioned by the New York Times, showed that Biden currently lags behind likely Republican candidate Donald Trump 43% to 48% in registered voters nationally.

    Popular vote matters for Dems. Because of how our system is set up, it’s not what determines the election, but if a Republican wins the popular, they’ve already won the electoral college.

    We’re stuck with Biden, but his campaign still has time to pull his head of his ass and beat trump.

    We just have to hope they listen to voters over donors or at least start doing a better job lying
