As the virtual Democratic National Convention opens, Joe Biden holds a 12 percentage-point lead over President Trump in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll of registered voters, 53-41%, and a similar 10 points among likely voters, 54-44%, with two-and-a-half months to go until Election Day.
Beneath that result is an underlying shift: the share of Biden supporters who are very enthusiastic about supporting him has grown from 28% in March to 48% today. He still has a wide deficit on this gauge compared with Trump, with 65% strong enthusiasm, but it's eased considerably. It's a measure to watch because enthusiasm can encourage turnout, especially given the extra effort needed to vote in many states this year.
Views of the broader economy typically outweigh personal finances in political considerations, and here is a root of Trump's risks. Sixty-eight percent of Americans say the economy is in not-so-good or poor shape, the most, as noted, in ABC/Post polls since October 2014 -- heading into the midterm elections that flipped the Senate to the then out-party Republicans and boosted their margin in the House.
Negative ratings of the economy are up 20 points since Trump took office, double their level in November 2018 and 39 points higher than in a Bloomberg survey in February, a month before the pandemic came crashing in.
These views matter: among registered voters who say the economy is in excellent or good shape, 79% support Trump and Mike Pence. Among those who say it's in bad shape, by contrast, 70% support Biden and Kamala Harris -- rising to 84% of those who give the economy the worst rating, poor.
Indeed, in a statistical analysis called regression, including controls for partisanship, ideology and demographic variables, discontent with the national economy is a significant independent predictor of vote preferences, as is worry about catching the coronavirus -- both negatively for Trump.
