Donald Trump Leading Joe Biden in Just 1 of Over 60 National Polls Conducted So Far This Month

As the election quickly approaches, President Donald Trump is trailing Democratic nominee Joe Biden in all but one national poll taken in September.

The Rasmussen Reports poll released September 16, showing Trump with a slim 1 percent lead over Biden, is the only one out of more than 60 surveys conducted during the month to show the president leading. The Rasmussen poll released a week earlier showed Biden with a 2 percent lead. Both results are within the poll's margin of error.

Rasmussen has typically been an outlier, consistently producing results that are more favorable towards Trump than most polls, although some recent state polls have reversed the trend. In polls the firm conducted in September, Biden had leads outside of the margin of error in the key states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.

National polls released Tuesday from other firms show Biden with a clear lead. Canadian pollster Leger shows Biden with 48 percent to Trump's 41 percent among likely voters, while polls from Morning Consult and USC Dornsife show Biden ahead by 8 and 11 percent, respectively.

1% isn't even worth mentioning. Anything 4% or less is within the margin of error. nt napi21 Sep 2020 #2
Within the margin of error is still a lead Loki Liesmith Sep 2020 #3
