Democrat Joe Biden's lead has expanded to double-digits against President Trump in November, an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds. Meanwhile, though 71% of Americans now see the coronavirus as a real threat, 35% say they won't get vaccinated.

All of that helps explain Biden's expanded lead and where the vote is coming from. Biden has now reached a majority with independents and leads Trump with this crucial group by 16 percentage points.Biden also has significant advantages with Black voters, young voters, whites with a college degree and suburban voters. Trump draws his strongest support from white evangelical Christians, whites without a college degree and those who live in rural areas.

That year, Carter got 48% of the white vote and won in an electoral landslide, but only by 2 percentage points in the popular vote. Back then, whites made up almost 9-in-10 voters. Even though Clinton led for most of 2016 in surveys, the election broke late in Trump's direction because of those voters who said they were undecided and said they disliked both candidates.The one positive sign for Trump continues to be the strong backing of his supporters. His voters are more enthusiastically behind him than Biden — 76% of them say they strongly support the president versus 64% of Biden's.

Democrat ?sir free Newton's pair

Disturbing disconnect though it really depends on how much time they are choosing to wait. I won’t be one of those fighting to be first in line.

It’s because they are hiding Biden and won’t let him speak. Once people realize there is none home they won’t be voting for him.

Always the 35%

Nobody should get Vaccinsted,these Pharma Behemoths need to Test these Drugs before they turn Americans into ZOMBIES.

Polls don’t vote.

But that's what you said about Clinton during the last election. That's what everybody said. But you were all lying then. And you're lying now. You can pander to the masses which is the minority of the world, but the majority of your profits. it's sick and sad.

A liberal poll! 😂

This isn’t surprising. You’ve got just a few percentage points difference in the number of people who don’t think COVID-19 is an issue and those who won’t get a vaccine. Would’ve been interesting to see if there is an overlap between the two, which I suspect there was.

They should run the trial on NPR staffers

Keep believing that. And yes, National (democrat) Public (only democrats need apply) Radio, keep promoting that: HidinBiden BeijingBiden joementia 'leads' TrumpNobelPeacePrizeNow! See you 1am, Nov 4, 2020, cnnlol! There will be blood!!! ❤️🇺🇲

nprbusiness Don’t be fooled by polls, we all must vote in November.

NPR now is press secretary for Biden

wow..a must watch....

‼️💯💯 PLEASE WOMEN VOTE AGAINST TRUMP HIS A WOMEN HATER AND PEDOPHILE AND SOCIOPATH 👺👹‼️ FRIENDS OF THE LATE EPSTEIN PEDOPHILE, HOW ABOUT HIS DEAR FRIEND MS. MAXWELL TRUMP SHOULD BE RIGHT NEXT TO HER IN JAIL ‼️👹👺💯☠️💀

Oh they will already get a vaccine as soon as their insurance will tell them to get one or not get covered

I'll never take the vaccine

Oh, NPR, you're so silly.

I will not get vaccinated until I see it's safe. America has conducted enough experiments on black people for us not to know better. This happened way too fast for me.

So 29% don’t see it as a threat and 35% won’t get vaccinated. That’s a pretty close overlap, obviously.

That's only a 6% overlap of people who see the virus as a real threat and won't get vaccinated. Probably people who are in a demographic where it's not personally a real threat even if overall the virus is.

Are these the same pollsters who predicted an easy Hillary win?

If anyone from the ANZAC portion of the world has this burning desire to kidnap an American and take them back there, my front door will be unlocked tomorrow night. I can't believe this many people here are that crazy.

Let em get sick then....less trump voters..

Idc what happens to that 35 percent

Stupid is. Stupid does.

NeverPolled.... Were you....

The polls don’t matter if the votes are not counted in November! The attack on the post office which will cripple the ability of mail in voting is real And could tip the election.

I'll still cast my vote for BidenHarris, I wouldn't care if they had a 99% lead over CheetoMussolini in the polls.

Some of those 35% maybe pay attention to world affairs and realize a vaccine from Russia is pretty fucking dangerous for a number of reasons, so yeah, just lump them in with anti-vax folks, NPR.

Is that 35% of those polled or 35% of those who believe it. That distinction is important.

Yes, time bandit with obvious dementia is running away with it. I believe it.

LiveAndLetDie

The third of the country that won't get vaccinated to protect themselves and others will, however, vote for Trump, again, not bothering to help themselves or others.

NPRisTRASH DemocratsAreCorrupt

Just sitting here laughing at all the folks who forgot about the polls of 2016. I don't care if the polls show a 99% lead in favor of Biden, I'm voting. POLL NUMBERS AREN'T VOTES! Get out and VOTE in November.

Hahahaha. Sure

If the republicans want to kill themselves I won’t stop them

Just shows that 30% of the country are uneducated idiots. Honestly, thought it would be more.

We have been here before...

Damn right I’m not.

I mean, 71% + 35% is only a little more than 100? Roughly one third of this country is bat-shit insane and doesn’t give a f*ck about the other 2/3rds of Americans. We been knew this.

NPR/PBS poll!! There is an authoritative source.

I’m assuming the same 1/3 who support Trump no matter what.

It's the same 35% that believe DJT is the second coming! Seriously... this 35% ate all he has left.... on a positive note... there may be less of them if they refuse the vaccine... just sayin'

Who was polled?

Polls are bs. 2016

November? Did Joe write this headline?

I won’t take a vaccine that’s not 100% backed by Fauci & even then if TraitorInChief is still around I definitely won’t trust him! So, it’s most likely that I’ll wait until JoeBiden is inauguration to find out what’s safe. TrumpIsKillingAmericans I don’t trust him

First, it’s August right now. Second, the 35% is most likely Trump’s cult followers.

He still looks confused.

35% of Americans are okay with slowly dying of a preventable disease.

We are the dumbest nation ever. We elected a gross joke of a human and many don’t believe in science because of stupid ignorance parading as patriotism.

“35% say they won’t get vaccinated”

How are we so broadly stupid. I work in healthcare and had a colleague the other day tell me theyre worried about getting a vaccine when it comes. WHY!? It's insane. There's NO serious evidence they harm and collosal evidence the diseases they prevent do!!! It's lunacy

Hooray for 35% anti vaccination! That means the rest of us will get the shot quickly while the stupids get sick.

Fake.
