A new national poll points to an extremely close contest between President Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden as the race for the White House shifts to a likely general election battle between the two.
According to the poll, the president enjoys a nearly 2-to-1 margin over Biden in the 2,500 solidly red counties that Trump overwhelming won four years ago over 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In the 360 solidly blue counties where Clinton crushed Trump, Biden is up by a 2-to-1 margin. But in the approximately 300 swing counties where the margins in the 2016 presidential election were 10 points or less, Biden tops Trump 50-41 percent.
“The race looks tight right now between Trump and the probable Democratic nominee. But as we learned in 2016, the outcome will be determined by the Electoral College rather than the national popular vote. The poll results suggest Biden may actually be starting out with an advantage in crucial swing areas of the country,” Monmouth University Polling Institute Director Patrick Murray said in a statement.
THE LATEST FROM FOX NEWS ON THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
As expected, there’s a wide partisan divide, with Democrats backing Biden 89-6 percent and Republicans behind the president 90-7 percent. Independents are nearly dead even, with 45 percent for Trump and 44 percent for the former vice president.
Biden leads 56-34 percent among voters under age 35, Trump has a 53-40 lead among those 35 to 54 and Biden has a slight 4-point advantage among voters 55 and older.

Who answered the poll.
Can’t stop laughing. Insanity!
Only ¡YEB! can save us from Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump will never be the Republican nominee.
Polls never lie.
Seriously, are we supposed to believe this? They must have done the poll by vote harvesting.
National polls are almost meaningless in forecasting modern presidential elections which are decided by a subset of counties in a handful of battleground states.
Yes, and no telling what the sample was. Poll-taking tends to be (1) biased, and (2) oversampled to the Left, stuck in the past when the majority of people registered as Democrats; that is no longer true.
When was the last time a Fox poll was good for anything?
I thought it was 57 elections.
