BUTLER COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE issued the following announcement on July 16.
Democrat former Vice President Joe Biden holds a 15-point lead over President Donald Trump in a national poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University.
Registered voters favor Biden over Trump 52-37%, the poll says. The same poll a month ago showed Biden had an eight-point lead.
Biden gets higher marks than Trump in nearly every category: crisis management, health care, coronavirus response, racial inequality, honesty, empathy and leadership skills.

Six in 10 voters polled hold an unfavorable view of Trump and 43% hold an unfavorable view of Biden.
Six in 10 voters in the poll say Trump is hurting rather than helping efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
“Trump’s strongest card, the economy, shredded by a killer virus, may have left the president with no go-to issue or trait to stave off defeat … not leadership, not empathy, not foreign policy, and certainly not his handling of COVID-19,” said Quinnipiac University Polling analyst Tim Malloy in a written statement.
The Republican president gets more negatives than positive reviews in the poll when it comes to his handling of the economy, military issues, foreign policy, health care policy and race relations.
