The Washington Post poll and Trump’s lead in key US states

Voters in key US states, likely to decide the fate of the US election, trust former President Donald Trump more than current President Joe Biden to deal with threats to democracy, a new poll shows. They have.

The poll also showed Trump leading in five of the seven states likely to decide the outcome of the election, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia, according to the newspaper.

The poll, conducted by The Washington Post, included a study of voters in six so-called swing states, and the poll identified a subset of participants classified as decision makers.

The study found that 38 percent of decision makers said Trump would do a better job of dealing with threats to democracy against America, while 29 percent said Biden and 23 percent chose neither. Nearly 60% of this group also said that they are not at all satisfied with the way democracy works in America.

On average, new national polls show Biden and Donald Trump each winning about 46 percent of the vote in a head-to-head race. As the first election debate is approaching, which will be held on Thursday evening, the numbers of these two competitors are very close. Currently, polling averages show a very close race.
