Poll: Biden leads Trump by 3 points nationally
The Hill ^ | August 5, 2020

Posted on 08/05/2020 5:25:14 PM PDT by karpov

If the 2020 Presidential election were held today, 43 percent of voters would vote for former Vice President Joe Biden while 40 percent would chose President Trump, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's lead fell from a 7 percentage points in a July 17-20 survey to 3 percentage points in this August 2-5 poll.

Five percent of voters said they would cast their ballots for someone else if the election were held today, while 3 percent said they do not plan to vote.

Nine percent of registered voters in the poll are still unsure.

The survey found Trump made gains among voters in two key demographics.

Support among Midwestern voters rose from 38 percent two weeks ago to 42 percent in this most recent poll. Support for Biden among the same group fell from 45 percent to 39 percent.

The president also edges out Biden among independents in the latest poll, with 35 percent support, a 4 percentage point increase from last survey.

By contrast, 33 percent of independents prefer Joe Biden as their candidate for president.

The President.Given that Plugs will probably claim to be from PA...and that the President barely carried it in ‘16...it seems more likely than not that Plugs will carry the state.

another fake national poll

the President is beating Sleepy Joe and the Dems bad with the ground game... Bill Stepien has moved Trump to capture the middle.


Even if this poll isn’t “fake” this is a good spot to be in, being slightly behind is better then being slightly ahead. It shows where Trump needs to work and improve and with an electoral college, the popular vote means squat anyways.

I am happy with poll numbers like these

Let team Biden think they are winning, then they get cocky like Hillary did

2850 registered voter respondents.

You don’t use registered voters for an accurate poll.
You use likely voters.

This is a manipulation poll.

2850 respondents
62,984,828 people (dead and alive) voted last year.

2850 is 0.0045%

Women are voting similar to the 18-34 age group. The same ones that want to abolish the police. Must be the same women that were attracted to ‘bad guys”. How did that work out?

Yes there are. I’m surprised a national poll is this close now.

Forget the polls it’s all fake news. In my many years I have never seen so much enthusiasm for a presidential candidate. MAGA

national polls don’t mean shit ... never have ... there’s only about 15 swing states that matter anyway ... so 3% could EASILY be just the anti-trump vote in California and new york,which if the poll means anything at all, it means trump is going to be re-elected ...
