Poll: Biden leads Trump by 11 points nationally

Former Vice President Joe Biden has widened his lead over President Trump in a new Monmouth University poll that shows the presumptive Democratic nominee with an 11-point advantage over his GOP rival.

The poll released Wednesday shows Biden with the support of more than half of registered voters — 52 percent — while Trump came in with 41 percent support. That's a 2-point increase for Biden from a Monmouth poll tracking released in May while the president's support remained stagnant.

The poll comes at a tumultuous time for Trump's presidency and for the country. Not only does the coronavirus pandemic continue to pose a threat to public health, but widespread civil unrest over racial injustice and police brutality has broken out in recent days, igniting demonstrations nationwide and, in some cases, clashes between protesters and police.
