Virtual Tie in the Presidential Rematch
In a state that President Biden won by 13.5 % just a year and a half ago, the incumbent is dead even with his former rival. While these numbers are surely disappointing for Democrats, Trump has only improved his tally in Colorado by 1.2 % in the last eighteen months. The real story is that Biden’s support has fallen by 12.5% since Election Day.
- Biden still holds a commanding lead over Trump among college-educated voters, 48.4% to 37.4% respectively, while Trump continues leading among non-college voters by almost 9 percent.
- Trump only leads non-Hispanic white voters by less than 1%, while Biden leads Trump with Hispanic voters by 1.2 %.
- Biden’s support among Black Americans sits at 60.8% but with the 16% of African Americans wanting to support a third-party candidate and 23.3% still undecided in this hypothetical rematch.
- A test of the generic partisan presidential ballot reminds us that voters don’t relish the idea of a 2020 rematch. Support for a “third party candidate” doubles from the generic ballot test to a specific mention of Biden and Trump as the undecided are 5% lower in a generic partisan ballot. African American voters, while less than thrilled with Biden (23% undecided), are wary of a Democrat, to-be-named, with more than four in ten undecideds. With Hispanics, a generic Democrat is running 10.6% ahead of President Biden.
Senator Bennet Leads Potential Opponent Campana by 6.2%
Sitting Senator Michael Bennet leads potential GOP Nominee Campana modestly with 13.7% of voters still undecided. He would only need 27% of undecided voters to win his seat again.
- Bennet has the support of 6.7% of Trump supporters while Campana only attracts .1% of Biden supporters. Voters that are undecided in the hypothetical rematch between Trump and Biden overwhelmingly support Bennet by 14.7 %.
- Among Independent voters, Bennet leads Campana by over 15% Again, we see that Bennet has substantial support among Republicans in Colorado getting 8.4% of their votes while Campana only gets 1.8% of Democrat votes.
- Among Hispanic voters Bennet receives 57% of their votes outperforming Biden by 16%.
