Biden voters overwhelming say they want the federal government to prioritize limiting the spread of the virus, even if that means further damage to the economy. About half of Trump voters also called the economy and jobs the top issue facing the nation, while only 1 in 10 Biden voters named it most important. On race and justice issues, Biden voters almost universally said racism is a serious problem in U.S. society and in policing. But only a slim majority of Trump voters, who are overwhelming white, called racism a serious problem. Results in high-turnout counties underscore that trend: Republican-leaning places became more Republican and Democratic areas more Democratic.

Manage expectationsThe Trump campaign appears to agree that Biden's reputation for making gaffes may not guarantee a victory. "Joe Biden is a master debater who knows what he's doing," Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told CNBC in a statement last week. The Trump campaign has declined to comment on the details of the president's debate preparations. "President Trump prepares for debates every day by being president and building an excellent record to run on for reelection," Murtaugh had told CNBC. Fewer claps and hollers can "allow for a lot more substance and content in the debate," Kall said.

President Donald Trump walks to his vehicle after arriving at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport for a fundraiser, Friday, July 10, 2020, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)MIAMI Friday was supposed to be the day President Donald Trump's campaign reboot itself got a reboot. With Tropical Storm Fay heading towards the Great State of New Hampshire this weekend, we are forced to reschedule our Portsmouth, New Hampshire Rally at the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease, Trump tweeted. Trumps visit to Florida was supposed to launch back-to-back days of high-profile campaigning but instead wound up being a one-off. Campaign officials privately acknowledged there had been fears all along about how many people would attend the Portsmouth rally. But there was also strong opposition to Trumps rally among some prominent New Hampshire Republicans.
