Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Trump by 10 points in a new national poll released Tuesday.
The latest Monmouth University survey finds Biden at 51 percent support, compared to Trump at 41 percent. Four percent of voters are undecided, while 2 percent support Libertarian Jo Jorgensen, 1 percent back Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins and 1 percent support other candidates.
The race is slightly tighter than the same poll found in late June, when Biden held a 52 to 39 percent lead. However, the 3-point shift in Trump’s favor is within the margin of error. The former vice president has led by 9 points or more since May.
“Trump has stopped his slide in the poll, but Biden maintains a lead among all registered voters nationally,” said Monmouth pollster Patrick Murray.
The Trump campaign says it does not pay attention to national polls and has questioned surveys of registered voters, saying they are not indicative of the likely electorate. Analysts say Trump can lose the national popular vote by about 4 points and still win the Electoral College.

Let me say it for everyone else.
This poll is garbage.
Will be just like Hillary when the polls were saying she was winning - and didn’t.
without seeing the internals, I can bet that they over-sampled democrats by... 10 points. ROFL
Only 10 points down with registered voters in a poll by Monmouth is actually good news.
It means that if the election were held today, Trump would win the popular vote of those that voted.
Yep. Only way to reach this absurd number.
When he selects his VP (rather, has her selected for him) and the public sees who the REAL president will be, polls will change dramatically.
I really wonder if these garbage pollsters are only releasing these useless national polls to promote the garbage idea that “every vote counts” as a way to condition the country to eradicate the Electoral College.
The Delusional Lying Media just keeps lying. It’s what they do.
Trump supporters are playing it close to the vest.
Don’t want a pollster going off on them about being RAAAAAACISTS
Don’t want ANTIFA to show-up and firebombing their house
Just really enjoy the election night spectacle of journalists with egg on their faces
I don’t believe these polls whatsoever. Americans are simply not that stupid. To want to go from one of the greatest Presidents , ever, to one if the worst candidates , ever...
Sorry, not buying it. Prepare for a Trump landslide victory in November .
When the people really speak
NEWS FLASH: Hillary Clinton has a 96 percent chance of winning, Trump 2 percent.
38% Independent
32% Democrat
Yep, and Hillary was a slam-dunk!
Oh, well, I guess I won’t bother to vote. It’s already decided. /s
Surveying registered voters alone biases the poll. Beyond that, how much were Democrats oversampled by?
Rasmussen shows 51% of American likely voters approve of Trump, 35% of black voters approve of him.
And Biden is leading by 10 ???
Something is really screwed up here...
Monmouth 2016:
“National
Clinton Leads by 6 Points
Monday, Nov. 7, 2016 - ONE DAY BEFORE ELECTION!!!!
Most expect Clinton to win, few believe system is rigged
West Long Branch, NJ – Hillary Clinton is currently ahead of Donald Trump by 6 points among likely voters. THIS IS DOWN FROM THE 12 POINT LEAD SHE HAD in mid-OCTOBER(!!!!!) but slightly larger than the 4 point lead she had in September. Very few voters, though, say that they have changed their vote because of breaking news in the last several days. The latest Monmouth University Poll also finds the vast majority of voters believe that the election outcome will be determined fairly rather than because the system was rigged.”
Monmouth final 2016 poll had Hillary up 6 pts.
-—30% Republican
38% Independent
32% Democrat——
Is anyone buying that Trump is only getting 29% of Independents? Come on.
