Post-convention polls show no significant gain for Trump among voters | KnottMatthew
There is no sign that Trump has received a significant polling increase following last week's Republican National Convention and violent scenes on the streets of cities such as Kenosha, Wisconsin, and Portland, Oregon.average is almost exactly the same it was a month ago, while still down on his peak lead of 10 points in late June.
"With six in ten likely voters feeling the country has lost ground, the President stares down a big gap to make up in a short time," Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said."As racial strife, a seemingly endless pandemic, and an economy on life support unnerve Americans, voters foresee a more reliable lifeline in the Biden Harris ticket."
"His most likely path to victory is to do again what he did in 2016: win the Electoral College with narrow victories in battleground states despite losing the national popular vote." The latest polls contrast with an Emerson College poll released late last week showing Biden leading Trump by just two percentage points, down from four points a month earlier.
