A Dead Heat

The New York Times poll tracker — a new feature — shows the presidential race deadlocked nationally at 46% to 46%.

“A close race is a slight improvement for Mr. Biden. He’s trailed in other polling averages — even if only narrowly — on almost every single day of the last nine months. But he narrowed his deficit in the wake of the State of the Union and with the clinching of the nominations in March. He’s closed the gap entirely since Mr. Trump’s felony conviction in New York.”
