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.

Time to de-fund both of them for this garbage.
Trump voters hang up on pollsters, if they even pick it up at all.
Oh yea, Biden in charge!
Trump retains considerably more Rs than Biden retains Ds. That is good news.
The bad news is the squishy Is are currently leaning Biden - primarily because the media has so thoroughly trashed Trump at this point, that it is finally starting to hurt.
Get a little closer to election time when the Is start to see more than just their idealized vision of Biden, and I think Trump pulls right back in front again.
