Biden slightly behind Trump but voters’ views of economy improve, poll shows

No indications that president’s forceful State of the Union address provided much of a boost with voters, survey shows

Joe Biden officially begins his general election campaign with a slight polling deficit against Donald Trump, and no indications that his forceful State of the Union address has provided much of a boost with voters, according to a public opinion survey released Wednesday.

But the newly-released USA Today/Suffolk University poll also shows views of the economy have hit their highest level of Biden’s presidency, a sign that voters may be starting to agree with the president that his policies helped the country recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.
