Several national polls since the first presidential debate show Biden has a double-digit lead over Trump.

The shift was even more dramatic when looking at white, college-educated women. While 41 percent of the demographic supported Trump on September 25, that level had dropped by 8 percentage points by October 5. Now, just 33 percent say they back the president. Previously, Biden was ahead of Trump by just 10 percentage points with this group. Now, the Democrat leads by 22 percentage points—with support from 55 percent.

Biden also appears to have the advantage in the key battleground states of Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the polling averages compiled by Real Clear Politics. Trump trails the Democratic nominee by 5 or more percentage points in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In Florida and Arizona, the president is down by more than 3 percentage points. Although the margin is narrow in North Carolina, Biden leads by an average amount of 1.
