A majority of voters who plan to support presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in November are doing so because “he is not†President Trump, according to a new poll of registered voters.
In a Pew Poll conducted prior to Biden selecting Sen. Kamala Harris of California as his running mate, 56% of voters who back the former vice president over Trump said they did so because he is not the Republican incumbent. Just 19% support Biden because of his “leadership/performance,†and only 13% plan to vote for him because of his “personality/temperament.†Just 9% said they like Biden most because of his position on the issues.
Comparatively, 19% of Trump supporters cited “he is not Biden†as their main reason for backing the president. Meanwhile, 23% credited the incumbent’s leadership and performance for their decision to back his reelection, and 21% said they would vote for him because of his personality and temperament. An additional 17% of Trump voters said they support him because “he is for American people and values.â€
