The survey shows that 41% of registered voters support Trump, while 37% favor Biden.
Another 13% opted for alternative candidates, while 9% were undecided and 17% of African Americans opted for Trump. These results are in line with other recent surveys that show that trump “consistently outperforms” Biden by margins ranging from 1 to 4%.
A close examination of the survey reveals “Trump’s strong control over non-college whites”with 52%.
“trump maintains a commanding lead among non-college-educated white voters. This group has remained steadfast and largely unmoved in its support of the former president”he said in a statement Kevin Wagnerprofessor of Political Science at FAU.
Trump also has “substantially greater support from members of his own party than Biden” from his, “which represents a serious threat to Biden“, said Dukhong Kimassociate professor of Political Science at the aforementioned university.
In the opinion of this academic, Biden “must increase support among African Americans and Hispanics and traditional Democratic Party constituencies” to improve his chances of victory.
It must, at the same time, “strengthen his appeal among party members to increase his chances of winning the presidency,” Kim added.
Likewise, the approval rating of the performance of Biden as president reflects “a challenging scenario”since 38% approve of his management, while 57% disapprove.
Conducted by the Political Communication and Public Opinion Research Laboratory of the FAU and Mainstreet Researchthe survey of 1,180 respondents was carried out from February 2 to 3 by text message and an online panel of these voters, so a margin of error cannot be assigned, the pollster explained.
