Biden supporters motivated by anti-Trump sentiment, new poll reveals
More than half of President Joe Biden’s supporters are driven by a desire to prevent predecessor Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
A recent CBS/YouGov poll reveals this sentiment has surged from 47% to 54% since March.
Meanwhile, 27% support Biden because they like him, down from 31%, and 19% due to his Democratic nomination.
Biden’s campaign has intensified attacks on Trump, citing his recent felony conviction and past controversies.
The poll indicates a tight race between Biden and Trump nationally and in swing states, with Trump holding a slight lead.
Most voters, including 80% of his supporters, do not consider Trump’s felony conviction a significant factor in their choice for president.
A majority of Trump voters also incorrectly attribute his conviction to the Biden administration rather than local prosecutors.
The CBS poll found 55% of likely voters say Trump’s conviction is not a factor in their choice for president, with 28% saying it will be a major factor.
Trump has enjoyed a fundraising surge from supporters following the trial.
However, the poll found just 14% of his voters are backing him because of his conviction.
