(CNN)Former Vice President Joe Biden has opened up a 15-point lead over President Donald Trump, according to a new Quinnipiac University national poll that also spells out bad news for the President on the economy, his most important selling point for reelection.
A majority of registered voters (52%) report they’ll support Biden in the general election, with 37% going for Trump, a wider margin than in Quinnipiac’s June poll, when 49% backed Biden and 41% supported Trump.
An NBC/WSJ poll out Wednesday also finds Biden leading Trump with an increasing margin, Biden with 51% support among registered voters over Trump’s 40%. In the NBC/WSJ June poll, Biden lead Trump with 49% to 42%.
