Biden has support form 91 percent of Democrats, compared to 87 percent of Republicans who back the president. Independents break for Biden by a 56-44 margin, although 38 percent of independents said they could still change their minds in the 100 days before the election.

Trump’s job approval rating is at 44 percent positive, slightly above his all-time low in the poll of 41 percent. Sixty percent of independents disapprove of the job the president is doing. Forty-seven percent of voters have a favorable view of Biden, compared to 42 percent who view Trump positively.

Overall, two-thirds of voters say the country is on the wrong track, including 83 percent of Democrats and 69 percent of independents. Fifty percent of Republicans say the country is on the right track and 50 percent say it's on the wrong track.

The coronavirus is by far the top issue on the minds of voters, with 54 percent calling it one of the three most important issues the country faces. Thirty-two percent listed the economy as a top issue, 25 percent health care and 22 percent race relations.
