Fox News Poll Shows Trump Losing To Five Different Democrats In 2020 Race
A Fox News poll released early Sunday shows President Trump lagging behind as many as five of the Democratic candidates for the 2020 presidential election.
The poll, conducted June 9 to June 12, shows Vice President Joe Biden ahead of Trump, 49 percent to 39 percent. It also shows Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) beating the incumbent president by nine percentage points in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup.
The poll, which had a margin of error of 3 percentage points, also found that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) came out ahead of Trump by 2 points, while Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) have 1-point leads.

Frequent Trump critic George Conway, attorney and husband of White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway, used the Fox News poll results to mock the president on Sunday morning.
Conway sarcastically tweeted: “Outrageous! The Lying and Corrupt News Media is at it again! FAKE NEWS even from FOX NEWS!”

A Quinnipiac University poll released last week also showed Trump lagging behind six Democratic contenders.
In that poll, 53 percent of voters said they would support Biden over Trump’s 40 percent. Sanders polled at 51 percent to 42 percent for the president. Harris and Warren performed better in the Quinnipiac poll, with leads of eight and seven percentage points, respectively, over Trump. Senator Cory Booker, who was not listed in the Fox News results and Buttigieg each enjoyed a five-point margin.
