“Former Vice President Joseph Biden calls himself a blue-collar guy,” Quinnipiac University Poll assistant director Peter Brown said in a statement. “With Ohio certainly a blue-collar state, it is no surprise he is the Democrat who runs best against President Donald Trump and is solidly ahead in the Democratic primary in the Buckeye State.”
“Biden runs best against President Trump in every Quinnipiac University state poll so far,” he added. “To get reelected, Trump will need to win the industrial Midwest. Ohio certainly is key to that plan.”
Quinnipiac surveyed 1,431 Ohio voters between July 17-22. The results have a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points.
