Joe Biden: Where does the US presidential hopeful stand on key issues<\/span>?<\/p>\n

Mr Biden has called climate change an existential threat, and says he will rally the rest of the world to act more quickly on curbing emissions by rejoining the Paris Climate Accord. The agreement, which Donald Trump withdrew from, committed the US to cutting greenhouse gases up to 28% by 2025, based on 2005 levels.<\/p>\n

Though he does not embrace the Green New Deal – a climate and jobs package put forward by the left wing of his party\u2026<\/p>\n

Restore America’s reputation… and maybe take on China<\/span><\/p>\n

Expand Obamacare<\/span><\/p>\n

Though he stops short of the universal health insurance proposal on the wish lists of the more left-wing members of his party, Mr Biden promises to give all Americans the option to enrol in a public health insurance option similar to Medicare\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Weniger als drei Monate vor der Wahl in Amerika hat Pr\u00e4sident Donald Trump laut einer neuen Umfrage aufgeholt. Der Vorsprung seines Rivalen von den Demokraten, Joe Biden<\/a>, sei seit Juni deutlich geschrumpft,\u00a0berichtete der TV-Sender CNN am Sonntag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Die Umfrage wurde durchgef\u00fchrt, nachdem Biden am vergangenen Dienstag bekannt\u00adgegeben hatte, sich f\u00fcr die Senatorin\u00a0Kamala Harris<\/a>\u00a0als Vize-Kandidatin entschieden zu haben.\u00a050 Prozent der befragten W\u00e4hler gaben an, Biden und Harris unterst\u00fctzen zu wollen<\/a>. 46 Prozent sprachen sich f\u00fcr Trump und seinen Vize Mike Pence aus. Zum Vergleich: Anfang Juni hatten in der Umfrage noch 55 Prozent angegeben, Biden zu unterst\u00fctzen. Trump lag bei lediglich 41 Prozent.<\/p>\n

In 15 sogenannten Swing States, in denen die W\u00e4hlermehrheiten immer wieder wechseln, sieht die Umfrage Biden und Trump Kopf an Kopf (49 zu 48 Prozent)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CNN Poll: Biden and Trump matchup tightens as enthusiasm hits new high<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump among registered voters has significantly narrowed since\u00a0June, according to a new\u00a0CNN poll<\/a> conducted by SSRS, even as the former vice president maintains an advantage over the President on several top issues and\u00a0his choice of California Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>\u00a0as a running mate earns largely positive reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n

And on the eve of\u00a0the party conventions, a majority of voters (53%) are „extremely enthusiastic“ about voting in this year’s election, a new high in CNN polling in presidential election cycles back to 2003.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, 50% of registered voters back the Biden-Harris ticket, while 46% say they support Trump and Pence, right at the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
