Joe Biden leads by 11 points nationally in the new poll, which also finds 62 percent of Americans believe the nation is on the wrong track.
WASHINGTON — Less than three weeks before Election Day, Joe Biden maintains a double-digit national lead over President Donald Trump, with 6 in 10 voters saying that the country is on the wrong track and that it is worse off than it was four years ago.
That's down from Biden's 14-point lead in the NBC News/WSJ poll conducted immediately after the first presidential debate on Sept. 29, although the movement is within the poll's margin of error. There's also the memory of what happened in 2016: The October NBC News/WSJ poll from four years ago — after the release of the damaging "Access Hollywood" video of Trump but before FBI Director James Comey intervened in the race's final days — showed Hillary Clinton with an identical 11-point lead over Trump.
That's an improvement since July, when only 19 percent of voters said the country was headed in the right direction, but it's lower than the more than 30 percent who were saying that before the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States. How the race could tighten in the final weeksWhile more say the country is worse off than it was four years ago, voters' attitudes about their personal situations are different.
