Biden leads Trump by 'landslide proportions' in new national poll
The election is still 17 months away, but things are very much looking up for Joe Biden and a handful of other Democrat candidates at this early juncture.
Even with the current strong economy, Trump is lagging significantly nationally. Biden is even beating Trump in red state Texas.

Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Trump by 13 points nationally, according to the latest Quinnipiac University survey. In a national head-to-head matchup, the poll found Biden taking 53 percent against 40 percent for Trump, with the poll's assistant director describing it as a "landslide" margin. Five other Democratic contenders also lead the president: Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) hold healthy leads over Trump, with Sanders up by 9 points, Harris ahead by 8 and Warren leading by 7. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) lead Trump by 5 points, with each posting a 47 to 42 split.
Biden’s double-digit lead over Trump is largely driven by the gender gap. The former vice president edges Trump 47 percent to 46 among men. But among women, Biden leads by 26 points, 60 to 34. Similarly, white voters are split evenly between the two, with Trump at 47 percent and Biden at 46. But Biden leads 85 to 12 among black voters and 58 to 33 among Hispanics. Both candidates surpass 90 percent support from within their own parties, but independents break for Biden by a 58 to 28 margin. Only 41 percent of voters said Trump deserves credit for the economy. Another 27% say Trump does not deserve credit and 28% say the economy is "not so good" or "poor". Voters disapprove 55-41 percent of the way Trump is handling the nations policy towards Mexico.
