The survey were conducted between July 18-24 and support for a candidate was calculated by respondents who are registered to vote.
Biden supporters admit their vote is less about their support for the former vice president and more about voting against Trump.
Fifty-six percent of Arizona voters say their vote is more about voting against Trump while only 39 percent say their vote is about supporting Biden. In Michigan 51 percent and in Florida 48 percent say their vote is more about voting against Trump.
President Trump continues to get a majority approval on his handling of the economy in Arizona and Florida, but nearly 60 percent of voters in the three states disapprove of his handling on the coronavirus outbreak and racial inequality.
Sixty-three percent of voters in Florida and 57 percent of voters in Arizona believe the worst is yet to come in the coronavirus outbreak in their states. In Michigan, some 51 percent believe the worst is behind them.

independents or members of another party.
