After falling behind 2020 campaign rival Joe Biden in recent weeks, President Trump has regained crucial ground as the November election approaches in less than 100 days.
According to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports, President Trump is closing the gap.
President Trump and likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden are now running neck-and-neck in Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey.
The latest national telephone and online survey finds Biden at 47% support among Likely U.S. Voters again this week to Trump’s 45%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate. Four percent (4%) are undecided.
A week ago, Biden held a 47% to 44% advantage after leading Trump by 10 points – 50% to 40% - in our first weekly White House Watch survey.
President Trump has an advantage from his party, which supports him by a wider percentage than Biden with Democrats. However, Trump is struggling with independents, who could make up the difference.
The new survey finds Trump with 81% of the Republican vote. Biden has the support of 74% of Democrats. Biden continues to lead among voters not affiliated with either major party: This week, it’s Biden 47%, Trump 36%, but 17% of these voters like another candidate or are undecided.
