A new Monmouth poll in Pennsylvania finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the presidential race, 49% to 45%.
The contest tightens when different likely voter models are applied. A model based on a somewhat higher level of turnout than 2016 puts the race at 49% for Biden and 46% for Trump, while one reflecting lower turnout has it at 48% for Biden and 47% for Trump.
