ALL TOP DEMS BEAT TRUMP AS VOTERS’ ECONOMIC OUTLOOK DIMS
QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS;
DEM PRIMARY STAYS STABLE WITH BIDEN HOLDING THE LEAD
If the 2020 presidential election were held today, 54 percent of registered voters say that they would vote for
former Vice President Joe Biden, while only 38 percent would vote for President Trump. Matchups against
other top Democrats show:
•
•
•
•

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders topping Trump 53 – 39 percent;
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren ahead of Trump 52 – 40 percent;
California Sen. Kamala Harris beating Trump 51 – 40 percent;
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg leading with 49 percent to Trump’s 40 percent.

Looking at all of the matchups, President Trump is stuck between 38 and 40 percent of the vote. These
low numbers may partly be explained by a lack of support among white women, a key voting bloc that voted for
Trump in the 2016 election. Today, white women go for the Democratic candidate by double digits in every
scenario. Though it is a long 14 months until Election Day, Trump’s vulnerability among this important voting
group does not bode well for him.
“In hypothetical matchups between President Trump and the top five Democratic presidential
candidates, one key number is 40,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Mary Snow. “It’s the ceiling of
support for Trump, no matter the candidate. It hovers close to his job approval rating, which has stayed in a
tight range since being elected.”
Voters say 56 – 38 percent that they disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as
president, compared to the 54 – 40 percent disapproval he received a month ago.
The Economy
For the first time since President Trump was elected, more voters say that the national economy is
getting worse than getting better, with 37 percent saying it is getting worse, 31 percent saying it is getting better,
and 30 percent saying it is staying the same. This compares to a June 11, 2019 poll in which 23 percent of
voters said that the national economy is getting worse, 39 percent said it is getting better, and 37 percent said it
is staying the same.
When asked to rate the state of the nation’s economy, 61 percent of voters say that it is excellent or
good, while 37 percent say that it is not so good or poor. These numbers, while still clearly positive on the
economy, are the lowest excellent/good economy numbers found by the Quinnipiac University Poll since April

 2018. Voters also say that President Trump’s policies are hurting the nation’s economy at 41 percent, while 37
percent say that they are helping, and 20 percent say that his policies make no difference.
“As trade tensions with China dominate the headlines, confidence in the economy is slipping,” adds
Mary Snow. “The number of people who think the economy is getting worse rose by double digits since June.
And roughly 4 in 10 voters blame the President’s policies, saying they are hurting the economy, the highest
level since Trump took office.”
Trump’s approval for his handling of the economy is split, with 46 percent approving and 49 percent
disapproving. On his handling of other issues, the president is decidedly underwater:
•
•
•
•
•

38 – 56 percent approval for his handling of foreign policy;
38 – 59 percent approval for his handling of immigration issues;
38 – 54 percent approval for his handling of trade;
38 – 53 percent approval for his handling of gun policy;
32 – 62 percent approval for his handling of race relations.

In addition, 62 percent of voters say that President Trump is doing more to divide the country as
president, while 30 percent say that he is doing more to unite the country – an all-time low. These numbers may
help explain why only 36 percent of voters report that they are very or somewhat satisfied with the way things
are going in the nation today.
The Democratic Primary
The race for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president has remained steady, with little to no
movement since the last time the Quinnipiac University Poll asked the primary question nationwide in early
August.
Biden leads the pack with 32 percent of Democratic voters and independent voters who lean
Democratic, followed by Warren at 19 percent. Sanders has 15 percent, while Harris gets 7 percent, and
Buttigieg gets 5 percent. Entrepreneur Andrew Yang receives 3 percent, and no other candidate tops 1 percent.
From August 21 – 26, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,422 self-identified registered voters nationwide
with a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points, including the design effect. The survey includes 648
Democratic voters and independent voters who lean Democratic with a margin of error of +/- 4.6 percentage
points, including the design effect.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts gold standard surveys
using random digit dialing with live interviewers calling landlines and cell phones. The Quinnipiac University
Poll conducts nationwide surveys and polls in more than a dozen states on national and statewide elections, as
well as public policy issues.
