Mr. Biden also enjoys a significant advantage among those who voted for neither Mr. Trump nor Mrs. Clinton in 2016. Together, these shifts give Mr. Biden a six-point lead among voters who participated in the 2016 election, according to voter-file records. Mr. Biden also has a 17-point lead among registered voters who did not vote in the 2016 race. Mr. Trump’s once-decisive advantage among white voters has all but vanished, despite national attention to the kind of racial issues that many analysts believed propelled his strength among white voters in the first place. If attitudes about race were vital to Mr. Trump’s appeal with white voters, then a foundation of his strength has been badly shaken.
