“Trump performs better with independents than Biden does, at 36 percent to 32 percent. One in five independents would cast a ballot for another candidate, and eleven percent are up for grabs,” the report noted.
“Of the respondents, 44 percent see Trump as favorable, while 53 percent find him unfavorable. Similarly, 43 percent have positive views of Biden, whereas 54 percent expressed negative perceptions,” the report added.
Trump’s favorability is slightly higher than Biden’s, and a plurality of GOP primary voters who support someone other than Trump said he would be their second choice.
