Right-wing Rasmussen Reports and Fox News both show Joe Biden as the favored candidate, and all recent national polls show President Donald Trump trailing his opponent.
With just 50 days until the election, Democratic nominee Joe Biden continues to maintain a significant lead over Donald Trump in most recent national polls, while also leading the president in polling out of key battleground states.
The current Real Clear Politics average of national polls shows Biden ahead of Trump by about 7.4 percentage points—with the backing of 50.5 percent of voters, compared with 43.1 percent who support the president's re-election. FiveThirtyEight shows a very similar national polling average. Biden is supported by an average of 50.7 percent of voters and Trump is backed by 43.5 percent—a margin of 7.2 percentage points in the Democratic candidate's favor.
No recent national poll shows Trump leading or even tied with Biden. The best recent poll for the president was carried out by the conservative Rasmussen Reports from September 2 to 8. It showed a close race, with Trump trailing his Democratic opponent by just 2 percentage points, backed by 46 percent of voters as opposed to 48 percent supporting Biden. A poll conducted by right-wing Fox News from September 7 to 10 showed Trump behind by 5 percentage points.
