Arguably the more stunning result from the CNN poll, though, was this: Just 12 percent of people said they trusted almost all of what they heard from the White House about Trump’s condition. Both the CNN and the NBC/WSJ polls reinforce that: Biden leads 52 to 35 in the NBC/WSJ poll and 59 to 38 in the CNN poll — slightly bigger even than Trump’s overall deficit. Upon returning from the hospital on Monday night, he made a big show of removing his mask while standing on the White House balcony. (The White House has claimed nobody was near him, although a photographer was behind him and at least two people were nearby.) The new CNN poll was conducted before the scenes of Monday night, but while Trump was taking his joyride to wave to supporters on Saturday.
