Former Vice President Joe Biden has a 10-point lead over President Donald Trump, according to a new poll.
In Rasmussen Reports’ first weekly White House Watch survey for the 2020 presidential election, the poll shows likely voters favor Biden over Trump in head-to-head matchup.
Poll results show:
- 50% of likely voters say they back Biden for president.
- 40% of likely voters say they want to reelect Trump.
- 6% of likely voters say they are undecided on who they will vote for.
Rasmussen, a favorite pollster of the president, also found that Biden has more support from Democrat voters than Trump does from Republican voters.
Seventy-nine percent of Democrat voters support Biden, while only 74% of Republicans back Trump, according to the poll. Voters not affiliated with either major party also support Biden more than Trump with 48% favoring the former vice president and 36% supporting Trump.
The poll was conducted by Pulse Opinion Research on behalf of Rasmussen Reports. It surveyed 1,500 likely voters between July 5-7. The margin of sampling error is 2.5 percentage points.
