Biden lead over Trump grows to 13 points: poll

"Former Vice President Joe Biden's national lead over President

Trump has increased to 13 percent, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds.

In the survey, 48 percent of respondents said that they would vote for Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, with 35 percent saying that they would support for Trump.

The president has seen his poll numbers flail in recent months, as criticism of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and his response to nationwide protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd mount.

Fifty-five percent of respondents said they disapprove of Trump's handling of the pandemic, which has killed over 115,000 Americans, with just 40 approving of his response to the crisis.

Conversely, about two-thirds of those surveyed were sympathetic to the protests that have been going on for over three weeks. Trump has taken an openly aggressive stance against the protests, some of which devolved into looting and property damage, repeatedly threatening use of military force to quell the unrest, raising eyebrows on both sides of the aisle.

According to the new poll, Trump's support among Republicans has fallen 13 percent since March.

At 38 percent among all respondents, the president's approval rating is the lowest it has been since November, during Congress' impeachment proceedings."
