Joe Biden surges ahead of President Donald Trump in some polls

WASHINGTON: Democratic presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden was ahead of President Donald Trump in some polls, but experts have said the winner of the 2020 race to the White House was still far from a done deal. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent civil unrest, Trump has come under severe criticism on a number of fronts, reports Xinhua news agency.

A New York Times/Siena College poll released this week shows Biden with a strong, 14-point advantage, at a time when Trump is still fighting the pandemic, as well as dealing with the economy, badly hit by the nationwide lockdown. The lockdown triggered by the pandemic has put millions of Americans out of work, and the jobless rate now stands at levels not seen since the Great Depression nearly 90 years ago. (IANS)
