Most Americans would rather see former Vice President Joe Biden in charge of both the U.S. coronavirus response and the economy than current President Donald Trump, according to data from a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.
However, while Biden may have the upper hand in polling in those areas, the results fall strongly along party lines. Out of those surveyed, 55 percent of those surveyed chose Biden over Trump to handle the coronavirus pandemic. While 40 percent of those polled said they would rather see Trump handling coronavirus issues in the U.S., 87 percent of those who supported Trump in that arena identified themselves as Republicans. Likewise, 87 percent of Biden's supporters labeled themselves as Democrats.
Although Trump has taken credit for creating a strong U.S. economy before the essential lockdown of the country due to the coronavirus, only 44 percent of those polled say they would rather see Trump handle the economy. A little over half would rather see Biden take the economic reins, garnering 51 percent of the poll. Those who were unsure about which candidate they would choose numbered 6 percent.
Democrats made up the majority of Biden's support for handling the economy with 86 percent throwing the presumptive Democratic nominee their support. However, 92 percent of the Republicans polled wanted Trump to handle the economy with only 7 percent of Republican voters leaning toward Biden.

I just explained to my SIL that she will be paying Income Taxes on 85% of her Social Security thanks to Bill Clinton. She was not amused.
And you can’t change stupid, that’s a given.
Handling or fondling?
I had to google it to find it here.
From their section on METHODS:
This survey of 1,008 adults was conducted April 21st through April 26th, 2020 by The Marist Poll sponsored in partnership with NPR and PBS NewsHour The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2017 American Community Survey 1-year estimates for age, gender, income, race, and region. Results are statistically significant within ±3.4 percentage points. There are 851 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±3.7 percentage points.
President Trump is seven months away from reelection, and they are using demographics from his first year in office?
From the section NATURE OF THE SAMPLE:
Unbelievably, they are using a D+13 sample? No wonder Biden in beating President Trump!

Poll was taken last week. Some of it lasy Tue. PT is having a very good week plus the Biden scandal is hitting.
Marist
meh
Biden doesn’t even know what he’s running for.
“Most Americans would prefer (insert something most Americans don’t want) over (insert something most Americans would prefer)”
Or so we keep being told.
took a while to find it.
1008 adults of which 851 are registered voters. These all were weighted ( they don’t specifically say how )
Of the registered voters:
39% are Democrats = 331.89 =332
26% are Republicans = 221.26 = 221
35% are Independents = 297.85 = 298
no mention of party affiliation of the 157 people not registered to votes.
Well, Marist has a tremendous record of accuracy, so this makes me very worried.

OOPS, double post. Well, I guess I made my point!
Why are my tax dollars going to these two entities?
You just beat me to it. I was getting ready to post the same link.
Yes, Democrats are way oversampled which means it’s a poll designed to influence public opinion, not to accurately measure it. More fake news from our absolutely corrupt media.
Where did they poll? Insane asylums?
The guy is a nearly brain dead dementia case.
He belongs in a nursing home.
Him and a Hunter will already by taking turns providing Monicas on Xi Jinping
