When it comes to Americans voting decisions, three issues are weighing heavily on their minds—and on their ballots.

The latest results from Heart+Mind Strategies’ coronavirus poll indicate how these issues are factoring into Americans’ votes. With the general election less than 20 days from the survey date of October 14-15, results showed 38% (-4) think Donald Trump will win and 44% (+2) think Joe Biden will win.
