Poll: Biden leads bigger lead nationally

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/523462-poll-biden-builds-bigger-lead-nationally

A new poll finds Democratic nominee Joe Biden leading President Trump by 8 points nationally, doubling his advantage over the same poll from last month as Election Day nears.

The latest Harvard CAPS-Harris survey of likely voters finds Biden at 54 percent and Trump at 46 percent, with 57 percent of independents breaking for the Democratic nominee. The same poll from last month found Biden ahead 52-48. Eighty-six percent of voters say they’ve made up their minds.

Tens of millions of people have already voted and fewer than one in three say they intend to vote on Election Day.


This is roughly in line with the Economist projection of 53-45, the CCES/YouGov and Ipsos polls. Biden seems to be poised for at least a 5 point victory with a 15 point victory at the other extreme. Good poll!
