Notably, an approval rating of 41.4% and a disapproval rating of 54.3% is very close to (within MOE) that CNN poll this morning that showed Biden as 14 points above Trump. This suggestions that, unlike Hillary Clinton, Biden is successfully capturing virtually all of the non-Trump votes.
Clinton came off as condescending, out of touch, lacks empathy, and is arrogant, which led to her approval being around what Trump had in 2016. Hell, a freaking rock can relate better than she can.
Biden is the complete opposite of most of those qualities so this time will be different for Trump. Like Clinton, Biden is well defined but unlike her, Biden is much more liked. While I do suspect this 13 point gap will close in terms of Trump's favorability and as we near the election, Biden is building a coalition that he hopes to retain in the long term, one he seems to be building more and more every day. He still needs to figure out how to excite voters overall, especially young people, progressives, and Latinos, but overall, he's in a much better position than Clinton was at this point; it pays off being the nominee earlier.
