According to a recently released Emerson College poll, President Biden is losing support from independent voters just a few months out from Election Day.
“Since before the first presidential debate, former President Trump’s support remains at 46%, while President Biden’s support has decreased two percentage points,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement.
“Notable shifts away from Biden occurred among independent voters, who break for Trump 42% to 38%; last month they broke for Biden 43% to 41%.”
From The New York Post:
Trump’s lead grows slightly when voters are given the chance to choose third party candidates, with 44% behind Trump, 40% supporting Biden, 6% for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Cornel West and Jill Stein both receiving about 1% support, according to the poll.
The poll also showed that Biden’s job approval rating is down two points from last month, with 56% of those surveyed saying foreign policy is worse than when Biden took office
“Perception of the status of U.S. foreign policy varies by party: 48% of Democrats think foreign policy is better now than four years ago, 87% of Republicans think it is worse, while 54% of independents think it is worse,” Kimball said.
