USC Dornsife/L.A. Times poll: Democrats believe a white male is most likely to beat Trump

The latest USC Dornsife/LA Times poll shows Democrats believe Joe Biden is the likely candidate to beat President Donald Trump among Democratic voters.

More than half of Democratic voters overall believe a white male candidate is the most likely to beat President Donald Trump. Voters chose a white male more often than other generic categories regardless of whom they support—and in most cases regardless of their own ethnicity and gender—USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times national tracking poll shows.

When asked about specific candidates, Democrats rated Vice President Joe Biden as the most likely among top-ranked presidential candidates to beat President Trump, with 86% saying Biden could “probably” or “definitely” beat Trump. CONT.
