THE U.S. ELECTION

AMONG decided American voters who are registered to vote and intend to vote in the next election (or who have already voted), 52% say they have voted for/will vote for Joe Biden, and 44% say they have voted for/will vote for Donald Trump, according to Leger’s Weekly Survey.

The majority of Canadians and Americans are worried about the outcome of the U.S. presidential election.
Over seven-in-10 Canadians and Americans are concerned about:
* The possibility of significant civil unrest or violence in the streets on election day or in the following days
* Not having a clear winner on election day and the chaos that may follow if several days are needed to declare a winner
* Increased racial tensions leading to protests and violence


80% of Canadians think a Biden victory is the best outcome for Canada as a whole in this election.
