Biden Leads Nationally In New Poll

A new NPR/PBS/Marist Poll finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump nationally in the presidential race, 50% to 48%.

When third party candidates are added as choices, the race is tied at 42% each.

Key takeaway: “Trump won voters older than 45 in 2020, according to exit polls, but Biden is winning them now, including having a 12-point lead with the oldest voters. That’s unusual because older voters have traditionally leaned Republican.”

“Biden won voters under 45 by double-digits in 2020, but Trump and Biden are now tied with the group. Biden is particularly struggling with the youngest voters — he’s up just 2 points with Gen Z/Millennials, who are 18 to 43 years old.”
