President Biden holds a six-point lead over former President Donald Trump in a likely November election rematch, a new national poll suggests.
But the Quinnipiac University survey released on Wednesday indicates that the president's advantage over Trump shrinks in a multi-candidate general election field that also includes independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The poll also shows Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley topping Biden by five points in a hypothetical November showdown, but Biden with a slight edge over the former South Carolina governor and former U.N. ambassador in a crowded field of contenders.
The survey also indicates that Biden and Trump are the overwhelming favorites to win the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations.
According to the poll, which was conducted Jan. 25-29, Biden leads Trump 50%-44% among registered voters nationwide, up from a razor-thin one-point edge in Quinnpiac's December survey.
