If the election were being held today, the race would be a dead heat between Joe Biden and Donald Trump with each receiving 46% support, according to a Quinnipiac national poll of registered voters.
When the matchup is expanded to include independent candidates, the race is still a dead heat, with Biden and Trump tied at 37%, followed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. at 16%, Jill Stein at 3%, and Cornel West at 3%.
