As we swim through the muddy waters of coronavirus news, it’s possible to forget we’re also in the process of choosing a president. But we are.
Where things stand: In recent weeks, several polls appear to favor the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden.
The youths: In a Morning Consult/Politico poll, the former veep’s net favorability increased by nine points among the youngest Democratic voting cohort. 68% of Dem primary voters under the age of 45 have a positive view of Biden.
Seniors: have gone from supporting President Trump the most of any age group in mid-March to favoring Biden by nine points, according to an NBC/WSJ poll.
The haters: Among people who dislike both candidates, Biden has a big lead, per Quinnipiac University.
The swing states: An Ipsos/Reuters poll found that 45% of registered voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania said they’d support Biden; 39% said they'd support Trump.
Take all this with a grain of salt the size of a Honda CR-V. Polls are unreliable, and it’s early yet.
