West Long Branch, NJ<\/em> \u2013\nJoe Biden holds a negligible 3 point lead over Donald Trump in the race for\npresident, according to a national Monmouth <\/em><\/strong>(<\/em><\/strong>\u201cMon-muth\u201d<\/em><\/strong>) <\/em><\/strong>University Poll<\/em><\/strong>.\nThe probable Democratic nominee has a larger edge, though, among voters in key\nswing counties across the country. The poll also finds that fewer voters say\ntheir financial situation is improving compared to a year ago, although most\nsay it is stable for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Biden has the support of 48% of registered voters and Trump has the support of 45% if the presidential election was today. Another 3% say they would vote for an independent candidate and 4% are undecided. Biden has an 89% to 6% advantage over Trump among Democratic voters, while Trump has a similar 90% to 7% lead among Republicans. Independents split 45% for Trump and 44% for Biden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe race looks tight right now between Trump and the probable\nDemocratic nominee. But as we learned in 2016, the outcome will be determined\nby the Electoral College rather than the national popular vote. The poll\nresults suggest Biden may actually be starting out with an advantage in crucial\nswing areas of the country,\u201d said Patrick Murray, director of the independent\nMonmouth University Polling Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the nearly 2,500 \u201cred\u201d counties that Trump won by an average of 36 points in 2016, his current standing for this year\u2019s election is similar at 63% who support him and 32% who support Biden. In the 360 \u201cblue\u201d counties that Hillary Clinton won by about 35 points on average, 60% of voters support Biden and 30% back Trump.  In approximately 300 \u201cswing\u201d counties where the margin of victory was less than ten points for either candidate \u2013 accounting for about one-fifth of the total U.S. electorate \u2013 50% back Biden compared with 41% who support Trump. In 2016, Clinton won the cumulative vote in these counties by a single percentage point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll also finds that Biden has a substantial 56% to 34% advantage\nover Trump among voters under 35 years old. \nTrump has a 53% to 40% lead among voters aged 35 to 54, while Biden has\na small edge of 50% to 46% among voters aged 55 and older. Other key\ndemographic groups break along typical partisan lines.  Biden has overwhelming support among women of\ncolor (77% to 14%), strong support among white women with a college degree (63%\nto 33%), and sizable support among men of color (53% to 39%).  Trump holds strong leads among white women\nwithout a college degree (66% to 29%) and white men without a college degree\n(58% to 34%). He has a smaller edge among white men who are college graduates\n(51% to 44%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both candidates have seen improvements in their personal ratings over\nthe past month. Biden currently has a split 43% favorable to 43% unfavorable\nrating among voters, which is up from his 40% to 53% rating in February. Trump\nregisters a slightly negative 46% favorable to 49% unfavorable opinion, but\nthat is better than his 44% to 53% rating last month. For Biden, the shift in\nfavorability has come mainly from Democrats, as he went from the back of the\nprimary pack to the probable nominee. He currently has an 80% favorable to 11%\nunfavorable rating among Democratic voters, which is up from 69% to 23% last\nmonth. Trump\u2019s improvement has come mainly from independents \u2013 now at 45%\nfavorable to 47% unfavorable with this group, up from 42% to 55% in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monmouth University Poll<\/em> also asked about voters\u2019 finances. Most (62%) say their current financial situation is stable, while 25% say they are struggling and just 12% say their situation is improving. Compared to a year ago, more voters say their situation is either stable (55% in April 2019) or struggling (20% in 2019), while fewer say it is improving (24% in 2019). Just over half of the electorate (52%) currently says that federal actions over the last three years have had no impact on their financial situation. Another 29% say the federal government actions have helped them and 18% say those actions have hurt them financially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe coronavirus situation is just starting to hit American family finances. It will be important to track these trends and the impact they might have on the 2020 presidential contest,\u201d said Murray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voters are split on whether Trump is giving enough attention to the\nissues that are most important to them (47%) or if he should be giving those\nissues more attention (48%). This is a slight improvement for the president\nfrom last summer (42% giving enough attention to 54% wish he would give more\nattention in June 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll also finds that nearly two-thirds of American voters say they are either very (34%) or somewhat (31%) optimistic about the 2020 presidential election. These results are basically unchanged from last month (35% very and 30% somewhat optimistic).  Thirty percent say they are more enthusiastic about voting this year compared to past elections, 17% are less enthusiastic, and 52% feel the same level of enthusiasm. This is a slight shift from February, when 39% felt more enthusiastic, 21% less enthusiastic, and 40% the same. The dip in feeling more enthusiastic has come mainly from Republicans (36%, down from 47%) and independents (21%, down from 34%). On the other hand, fewer Democrats feel less enthusiastic about November\u2019s election now (18%) than said the same last month (30%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monmouth University Poll<\/em>\nwas conducted by telephone from March 18 to 22, 2020 with 851 adults in the United States. The results in this\nrelease are based on 754 registered voters and have a +\/- 3.6\npercentage point sampling margin of error.  The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University\nPolling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

METHODOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monmouth\nUniversity Poll<\/em> was sponsored and conducted by the Monmouth University\nPolling Institute from March 18 to 22, 2020 with a national random sample of 851\nadults age 18 and older, in English. This includes 340 contacted by a live\ninterviewer on a landline telephone and 511 contacted by a live interviewer on\na cell phone. The results in this poll\nrelease are based on a subsample of 754 registered voters. Telephone numbers were selected through\nrandom digit dialing and landline respondents were selected with a modified\nTroldahl-Carter youngest adult household screen. Monmouth is responsible for\nall aspects of the survey design, data weighting and analysis. The full sample\nis weighted for region, age, education, gender and race based on US Census\ninformation (CPS 2018 supplement). Data collection support provided by\nBraun Research (field) and Dynata (RDD sample). For results based on the\nregistered voter sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error\nattributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 3.6 percentage\npoints (unadjusted for sample design). Sampling error can be larger for\nsub-groups (see table below). In addition to sampling error, one should\nbear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting\nsurveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
