A new national NBC News poll — conducted after President Biden’s bad debate performance and before a gunman fired at Donald Trump on Saturday — found the presidential contest remaining stable and competitive, with Biden trailing Trump by two points in the survey, 45% to 43%.
Key takeaway: “In the poll, more than 60% of Democrats said they would prefer someone else as the party’s presidential nominee. Almost 80% of all voters reported having concerns about Biden’s mental and physical fitness.”
A new CBS News poll also shows Biden trails by two points, 50% to 48%.
Key finding: “Things essentially haven’t changed since the immediate aftermath of the debate, when sentiment shifted slightly toward Trump, so this remains a fairly stable contest in that regard.”
A new Fox News poll had Trump leading by just one point, 49% to 48%.
