Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden (left) and US President Donald Trump.
Specifically, about 41% of voters participating in the five-day poll (ending on April 9) said they would vote for Mr. Biden if the election were held when they responded to the survey, compared to 37% for former President Trump. Accordingly, Mr. Biden leads Mr. Trump by 4%, higher than the 1% rate in the poll also conducted by Reuters/Ipsos in early March.
The poll also found that many voters have yet to make a final choice. About 22% of voters said they had not chosen a candidate. They are leaning toward third-party options or are unlikely to vote at all. The Reuters/Ipsos poll included responses from 833 registered voters surveyed online nationwide. The margin of error for the poll is about 4%. Meanwhile, a new Pew Research Center report found that Republicans have made significant gains among voters without a college degree, rural voters and white evangelical Christians. Democrats still hold onto important groups of voters, such as black voters and young people, while gaining ground among college-educated voters.
In the run-up to the 2020 election, more voters across the country identified as Democrats than Republicans, according to The New York Times on April 9. But four years into President Joe Biden’s term, that gap has narrowed, and American voters are now almost evenly split between the two parties. Some voters are now concerned about Biden’s age, while Trump is embroiled in several criminal charges.
