A majority of likely voters in Wisconsin -- 53 percent -- said they trust Biden over Trump to handle the pandemic, compared to 34 percent who trust the president instead. In Arizona, half of the voters trust the former vice president to better handle the pandemic, while 39 percent said Trump would better manage it. 

Overall, Biden appears to be gaining support among senior, male and white, non-college voters who sided with Trump in 2016. 

The Arizona poll shows that Biden is cutting into the president’s lead among those 65 and older in the state, with 46 percent backing Biden and 52 percent supporting Trump.
