The survey found that just one in four voters (24%) think the country is moving in the right direction – a key question in the run-up to a national election – and more than twice as many voters said that Biden’s policies had personally hurt them than those who said they had helped.

Of the two-thirds of the country that feels the nation is headed in the wrong direction, the poll found that 63% said they would vote for Trump.

In the Bloomberg survey, a large share of the respondents voiced concerns with Biden’s age and a significant percentage said Trump was dangerous, and suggested the number of “double haters”, as pollsters call voters who approve of neither candidate, is significant.

    48%+ voters think Biden’s policies personally hurt them? Why do I suspect if they were asked which, they would all name things completely out of Biden’s control?

      Speaking of which, as much as I couldn’t stand George W. Bush, the financial collapse that happened on his watch was more or less the direct result of Bill Clinton repealing the Glass-Steagall act 8 years before.
