A new WaPo poll done in cooperation with the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University was released Wednesday — and it has bad news for Joe.

The poll shows swing state voters believe “threats to the democracy in the U.S.” is an extremely important issue, and Donald Trump is the stronger candidate on the issue.

From Mediaite:

Of the more than 3,500 individuals surveyed, 2,255 were identified as “deciders,” meaning they are the voters most likely to have an impact on the election. Voters were classified as deciders if they are between 18-25, only voted in one of the last two elections, switched parties between the last two elections, or if they remain undecided between the candidates. Voters were polled from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Between all of these swing state voters, 61% called threats to democracy an extremely important issue. Among voters identified as “deciders,” 56% agreed. Those numbers go up among voters either committed to backing Biden or Trump already with 78% of Biden voters calling threats to democracy an extremely important issue, and 71% of Trump backers agreeing.

Among all swing state voters surveyed, 44% said the former president would better handle threats to democracy while 33% said Biden would do the better job. Another 7% said they would do an “equal” job while 16% said “neither” could be trusted on the topic.

Among “deciders,” 38% backed Trump more to defend democracy while 29% backed Biden. Among this group, 23% dismissed back candidates and 10% said they’d do an “equal” job.

“Many Americans don’t recognize Biden’s custodianship of our democracy, which is a bad sign for his campaign,” Justin Gest, a professor of policy and government at George Mason University, told the Post.
