Joe Biden surges to 9-point poll lead over President Trump | World | The Times

He has been forced into lockdown at his home in Delaware, his speeches from a lectern in his basement ignored by the national press. And yet a poll by one of the most conservative networks in the US has shown that Joe Biden is now nearly nine points ahead of President Trump — and even further ahead in some of the crucial counties that determined the outcome of the last presidential election.
Despite his apparently shrinking profile in an America caught up in the coronavirus crisis, the Fox News poll puts Mr Biden on 49 per cent to Mr Trump’s 40 per cent. Even more concerning for the president is the revelation that the man expected to win the race for the Democratic nomination has a thumping lead of 25 points — 57 per cent to 32 per cent — in counties where Mr Trump and Hillary Clinton were within ten points of each other in the 2016 election.
