RON’S COMMENT: This Fox News poll is good news for Democrats, showing them beating Trump by clear margins. Trump doesn’t hit 40% in any of the trial heats. In the race against Biden, Trump loses every group except Republicans, which he wins 84-8, and whites, which he wins by 1 point. Biden beats Trump among blacks 84-2. This poll also shows Biden capturing 7% of Trump voters from 2016.

RON’S COMMENT: This poll has Biden and Warren on top, with Warren pulling away from the rest of the field. Since three weeks ago, this survey shows Biden down 2 points, Sanders down 5 points, Warren up 8 points and Harris down 2 points…. In this data, Warren is doing much better with whites than blacks (25% vs. 8%). Biden does better with blacks than whites (37% vs. 31%)…. Warren beats Biden among whites with a college degree (33-29), while Biden beats Warren among whites without a college degree (34-15)…. Yesterday, the HarrisX poll showed a different result, with Sanders second and Warren a distant third.

TRUMP VS. GENERIC DEMOCRAT

Among voters nationwide

If the election for president were held today with Donald Trump as the Republican running against a Democratic Party candidate, who would you vote for?

Democratic candidate: 50% (+2 since last week)
Trump: 39% (same as last week)
It depends: 9%

RON’S COMMENT: The “generic” Democrat was ahead by 9 points last week, now it’s 11 points. Note that this poll from The Economist/YouGov pegs Trump’s general election strength at 39%, which is about what the Fox News trial heats against named opponents show (see above).
