CNN Poll Showing Trump Pulling Ahead Adds Pressure on Biden
The first major poll after Joe Biden’s debate with Donald Trump dealt the president a fresh blow Tuesday, showing him trailing by six points.
The CNN poll was the first to be carried out in the wake of Thursday’s stumbling performance and will increase pressure on the embattled Biden to either step aside or offer a major reset to reassure his supporters and donors.
For the past several weeks, the race had been tightening, with Trump’s lead much more negligible between one and three points nationally, according to FiveThirtyEight’ model.
