Biden vs. Trump: Who is leading the polls?
Quick Glance: Biden Leads Trump by 4 Points in Reuters/Ipsos Poll
  • The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that U.S. President Joe Biden has widened his lead over Donald Trump as the Republican candidate gears up for the first of four upcoming criminal trials.

  • In the survey, 41% of registered voters stated they would vote for Biden, a Democrat, compared to 37% who chose former President Trump. This 4-point lead was an increase from the 1-point lead Biden had in a Reuters/Ipsos poll in March.

  • The poll has a 4% margin of error for registered voters, and many voters remain undecided seven months before the election.

  • While nationwide surveys are crucial indicators of American support for political candidates, only a few competitive states typically sway the balance in the U.S. electoral college, which ultimately determines the winner of a presidential election.
