An extensive new survey by Morning Consult of nearly 28,000 registered voters presents some troubling numbers for the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden — results the pollster ascribes to increased coverage of the sexual assault allegation against Biden from his former Senate staffer Tara Reade. While Biden’s “slide” has resulted in a tightening race between him and President Donald Trump, the pollster still gives Biden a “distinct advantage” among one potentially key group.
“Tara Reade’s allegation that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her when he was a senator in 1993 is one of the few non-coronavirus stories to have broken through to voters amid the pandemic, and it appears to be taking a toll on the former vice president’s popularity,” Morning Consult reported Monday.
