60% of US citizens disapprove of Trump
Should Biden’s lead hold in three of four states tested in survey, it would certainly be eugh to win. If Democratic leader were to carry Florida, he would also most likely need to flip just one large state that Trump won in 2016 to clinch presidency over his n-rival Hilary Clinton. surveys suggest that Biden has backed a broad advant among voters who have already cast ir ballots by mail or through early in-person voting, with Trump leading by a wide margin among those who have yet to vote.

Meanwhile, a separate election poll has claimed that voters were increasingly disapproving of Trump, a revelation that directly attacks American president's confidence. poll suggested that around 60 per cent of US citizens have disapproved of President Donald Trump holding rallies amid COVID-19 pandemic. national polls, however, can’t guarantee assured victory as in 2016, Hillary Clinton also had a clear lead over Trump in national polls, she, however, lost in electoral college. However, swing states will decide fate of candidates on vember 3.
