Voters rated President Joe Biden as “better at handling the coronavirus” than Trump, according to a post-2020 election analysis of public inquiry data from Trump campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio. The pandemic “was the biggest problem” among voters in 10 key states and as Biden brought those voters “close to 3 to 1,” Fabrizio says in a 27-page analysis that relies on average results from exit polls from the National Election Pool conducted for CNN and other media as well as AP’s VoteCast.
“As (Trump) dominated among economically focused voters, Biden won voters from the coronavirus, which made up a larger share of the electorate,” the report, dated December 2020, said. Monday night after the first Politico report. he.
The 10 states Fabrizio focused on were Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. Biden and Trump each won five. Although his job approval was mixed in those 10 states, Trump “received negative marks on handling the coronavirus,” according to the report.
Three-quarters of voters in all 10 states favored masked mandates and “Biden climbed the score with that large majority of voters,” according to the report. Trump had often refused to wear a face mask in public, at one point making fun of wearing a mask, and opposed a federal mask mandate.
Fabrizio also concluded that “Biden had a double-digit advantage over POTUS” on whether voters found the candidate to be honest or trustworthy, although the majority of voters did not perceive either candidate that way.
Fabrizio also said Americans overwhelmingly trusted the country’s leading infectious disease specialist, Dr Anthony Fauci, on the pandemic, with a “positive 3-to-1 approval” for his handling of it.
Fauci critics voted overwhelmingly for Trump, according to the report, but “Fauci supporters voted for Biden by wide margins.”
