There are less than four months left until the US presidential election in November. According to the latest poll by the Fox News Channel, Republican President Donald Trump’s approval rating in the three key “swing states” clearly lags behind the Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.
Deutsche News Agency quoted this poll report on the 24th, Trump's approval rate in Michigan is 40%, 9 percentage points behind Biden. Among female voters in Michigan, Biden supporters have 18% more supporters than Trump supporters, highlighting Trump's disadvantage in canvassing votes among women. In the 2016 presidential election, Trump won Michigan by a narrow margin.

In Pennsylvania, 50% of respondents supported Biden and only 39% supported Trump. In the 2016 presidential election, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton lost Pennsylvania with less than 45,000 votes.
Trump's approval rating in Minnesota also lags far behind Biden.
Trump has been lagging behind Biden in recent national and key “swing states” polls. Analysts believe that the Trump administration's response to the new crown epidemic and race relations has been criticized, which is detrimental to his seeking re-election. The new crown epidemic has caused more than 144,000 deaths in the United States so far and has severely damaged the US economy. (Yan Jie) [Xinhua News Agency Wei Feature]
