Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden's lead over President Donald Trump now stands at five points, but Trump has an edge in the critical battleground states that could decide the electoral college, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

In the new poll, 51% of registered voters nationwide back Biden, while 46% say they prefer Trump, while in the battlegrounds, 52% favor Trump and 45% Biden.

This is registered voters, so President Trump is likely doing better with likely voters. But the battleground states are the key with the Electorial College, where he’s polling ahead.

This pollster gal has made millions turning out this ‘product’ for the Leftist agencies. Used to be Director of Polling at AP.

I don’t understand the negative reaction.

This poll shows Trump winning, because he’s winning the battleground states. They’re the only states that matter

The poll shows Trump repeating his 2016 Electoral College victory. And it’s CNN that is telling us this. Very encouraging!!!

Given the PA governor’s tyrannical streak, Democrats aren’t looking good in PA either.

FYI: Trump won those battlegrounds by 2% in 2016. If he is winning by 5% now, that isn’t a “tilt” it’s a HUGE bump.

The Democrats in the media never learn: winning California and New York by one vote each is the same result as winning them by 10,000,000 votes each. If Trump is shown to be leading in battleground states in these heavily slanted polls, then he’s doing great.

“Remember how astoundingly accurate the polls were in 2016?”

Even so, this is good news for president Trump considering that even CNN is showing him ahead in the battleground states. Plus it’s a poll of registered voters, not likely voters.

Thanks to the Electoral College, nationwide popular polls don’t matter in Presidential elections.

Oh....a CNN poll. Any shred of credibility they may had was lost years ago. Continued lies just speed up their trip to the trash heap.

I don’t buy this.... but.. however.. there are the willfully ignorant.... and too lazy to get educated on what is going on...and too lazy to care?! There are too many who take the word of the media and go with it.. never knowing the truth!!

If Trump can be defeated, I will be in a world of hurt and disappointment in everything this nation stood for,,, for this country.. for my grandsons...

Cal and NY could put the demo candidate over the top in the popular vote.

I concern troll about Florida and Texas with the number of illegal voters.

No way do I believe a majority wants Senile Joe in the White House. _______________________________________________ If you add up all the metropolitan Leftists in blue states, then it's entirely possible that a majority of the popular vote goes to . It's tough to overcome the machines in urban areas especially when many of the voters might not be legal citizens.

Any poll that says Biden is ahead anywhere didn’t ask the right questions. Like, is it okay to have a creepy, alzheimer’s patient who doesn’t know the difference between his wife and his sister in charge of the U.S.?

I hope Biden believes these FAKE polls just like Hillary did.

Hey Joe, Better book those fireworks early.

I remember when folks said "no way do I believe Obama will get elected." Better we operate on the basis that this is quite possible.
