Former Vice President Joe Biden is ahead of President Donald Trump by 10 points, according to a new poll.
A Monmouth University survey released Tuesday indicates Biden has a double-digit lead over the president.
Poll results show:
- 51% of voters say they are voting for Biden.
- 41% of voters say they are backing Trump.
- 4% of voters say they aren’t sure who they are voting for yet.
- 2% of voters say they will support Libertarian Jo Jorgensen.
- 1% of voters say they will vote for Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins.
- 1% of voters say they support other candidates.
Trump has gained more support since the same poll was conducted in June. Those results showed Biden leading Trump 52% to 39% among voters. With Trump’s boost in support, the 3-point shift puts the president within the margin of error.
“Trump has stopped his slide in the poll, but Biden maintains a lead among all registered voters nationally,” Monmouth pollster Patrick Murray said.
Of Biden’s supporters, 39% said they are certain they will vote for him. Of Trump’s backers, only 35% say they are certain they will vote him in for a second term.
About half of all voters surveyed say there is no chance they will reelect Trump. Only 40% say they won’t vote for Biden.
Biden has a slight edge in how voters view him. Forty-two percent of voters have a favorable view of Biden, while 40% of voters say they view Trump favorably.
The Monmouth University poll surveyed 785 registered voters between Aug. 6 and Aug. 10. The poll has a 3.5 percentage point margin of error.
