In a hypothetical match-up against President Trump, Mr. Biden led by 10 points, 49% to 39%. Mr. Sanders led Mr. Trump by 6 points, 46% to 40%.
Mr. Trump, meanwhile, held 1-point leads when matched up against Ms. Warren and Ms. Harris. He led Ms. Warren by a 42% to 41% margin, and Ms. Harris by a 41% to 40% margin.
A majority of overall voters — 52% — said they approve of how Mr. Trump is handling the economy. But his overall approval rating was 46%, with 51% disapproving.
“When the economy is good, incumbents typically have the wind at their back,” said Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. “The president has an obvious target group — the 10 percent who approve of his handling of the economy, but aren’t voting for him.”
The survey of 1,004 registered voters was conducted July 21-23 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The smaller subsample of Democratic primary voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.
