President Trump has now edged to a one-point lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the latest Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey. While statistically insignificant, it’s the first time Trump has been ahead.
The new national telephone and online survey finds the president with a 47% to 46% lead over Biden among Likely U.S. Voters. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, while four percent (4%) remain undecided.
The race has narrowed over the past two weeks. Biden had a two-point lead last week, but that survey also marked the first time Trump had edged above 45% over the past two-and-a-half months. Prior to this week, Biden has bested Trump in every weekly survey since White House Watch began at the beginning of July.
The new survey finds Trump with 80% support among Republicans and a nine-point lead among voters not affiliated with either major party. Biden has 80% of the Democrat vote.
Trump shows surprising strength among other minority voters, suggesting perhaps that he is attracting Hispanic support as violent racial protests continue in many major cities. It will be interesting to see if this support holds up in the weeks ahead.
White House Watch is updated at noon Eastern every Wednesday.
Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.
The survey of 2,500 Likely Voters was conducted September 9-10 and 13-15, 2020 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
I have great confidence in President Trump’s ability to win re-election......
They had him up in some of the 2016 polls. I don’t know why Trump hasn’t been ahead in any of the polls this time.
(1) If Trump is tied or ahead in the national polls, then he is way ahead in the electoral college.
(2) I don’t believe that Trump has only 80% support among Republicans. Could it be that many Trump supporters still aren’t answering phone calls.
(3) Mail-in ballots hold the potential for massive fraud.
If DJT is one pt. ahead in the national vote, he’s likely ahead in the the Electoral Vote. In 2016, Shrillary won the general vote by a few points but the Trumpster won the EV in a landslide.
I heard that Biden has low name recognition and nobody can state what he stands for. Not good for his campaign.
The Don Jr. Kid Rock Rally in MIchigan was awesome the boat parade behind the stage was genius.
Well I forgot to add, including Biden.
Thank God!
Notice that the Soros-sucking satanists who troll here with their golden images (polls) are noticeably absent from this thread.
One of these Soros-sucking minions was on here crowing about a Rasmussen poll a few weeks ago. Today? No where to be found.
The concern trolling from these few are so transparent.
I have confidence in President Trump.
It is my confidence in a big fraction of my countrymen, and in those that run elections, that is in doubt.
Well stated.
Love it! I was a huge R. Crumb fan in The late ‘60s and early ‘70s.

This is the first poll that has had Trump leading since February (Emerson).
