Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for August 27, 2020
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
August 27, 2020: Regardless of who they want to win in November, 45% of registered voters nationwide believe that Democrat Joe Biden will emerge victoriously. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 40% disagree and believe Republican Donald Trump will be the victor. Two percent (2%) think someone else will win it all while 12% are not sure.[1]
The survey was conducted after the Democratic National Convention and before the Republican National Convention.
Looking back, responses have been trending in Biden's direction for some time. During 2019, a majority of voters expected Trump to be re-elected. That was before the pandemic and the lockdowns. In late June, voters were evenly divided about who would win—42% picked Biden and 42% Trump.[1]
Eight-out-of-ten Democrats expect Biden to win while eight-out-of-ten Republicans expect Trump to be re-elected. Among unaffiliated voters, 39% pick Biden and 35% Trump.[1]
We will repeat the question next week to see if there is any impact from the GOP convention.
