CNN)Former Vice President Joe Biden holds a wide lead over President Donald Trump in the national race for the White House, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

Biden leads Trump 53% to 42% among registered voters, roughly steady from CNN's poll in early March. The nationwide picture shows Biden starts with an edge among voters generally

The coronavirus pandemic has drastically altered presidential campaigning. Biden and Trump have paused in-person campaign events, and states have pushed back primary elections until the summer months.

Biden holds an edge over Trump as more trusted to handle several key issues, including the response to the coronavirus outbreak (52% to 43%), health care (57% to 39%) and helping the middle class (57% to 38%).
 
Polls like this are meaningless.

Hillary also led in such polls in 2016. Look where she is now...
 
I always like to check the Real Clear Politics average of job approval polls.

DT already reached his peak in rally-round-the-flag polling for the corona virus. Heck, even 'heck-of-a-job-brownie' GWB got that during Katrina, initially. Until it became his Katrina.

Good aggregate information there. Past polls are listed, so you can see the trends.

DT's average job approval has fallen in the past week in nearly every frequent poll.

Job Approval:

Monmouth 46, previously 48
Quinnipiac 45, previously 41 (a month ago)
Reuters/Ipsos 42, previously 46
Economist/YouGov 45, previously 47
CNBC 46, previously 40 (in December)
CNN 44, previously 45
Rasmussen Reports 47, previously 48
Politico/Morning Consult 44, previously 45
IBD/TIPP 45, previously 41 (in February)
Grinnell/Selzer 48, previously 43 (in October)

We can see that the only polls he has improved in were old - mostly during the impeachment.

Looks like DT is goin Down...

No she didn't. Trump won the popular vote 304-227. That's why he is the President and she is not.

Bawahahaha, so only 531 people voted in the election? Or is 304-227 the electoral count? You know there is a difference between the popular vote and the electoral vote?

Disagreed. Do you really think Trump's campaign team doesn't use polls?

True about Hillary. Here's the problem with polling: It's one thing to give an opinion on the street, but it's another thing to show up on Election Day. Young people tend to lean Left, but they are also flaky and tend to not follow through on what they claim they'll do. Older people tend to be conservative and vote in larger percentages than younger generations. Those percentages (called demographics) care predictable to an extent, but can change depending upon external factors.

FWIW, I doubt Biden is inspirational enough to motivate sufficient numbers of Millennials and Gen Xers to defeat Trump in November. I could be wrong.

Here's a poll I think has strong validity - A poll where people put their money where their mouth is. This poll still has Trump winning by a narrow margin: https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/3698/Who-will-win-the-2020-US-presidential-election
 
Anybody remember when that same poll had Clinton beating Trump in a head-to-head matchup?
