Trump jumps out to 6-point lead following debate disaster for Biden: Poll
From Jack Birle
Former President Donald Trump‘s lead over President Joe Biden has ballooned since the president’s disastrous debate performance last week, according to a new poll.
A New York Times-Siena College poll released on Wednesday shows Trump leading Biden 49%-43% nationally with likely voters, in the survey conducted from June 28 though Tuesday. It is a 3% improvement for Trump compared to the survey conducted by the pollster just before the June 27 debate.
The Biden campaign sent a memo to staff earlier Wednesday looking to get ahead of this poll, which shows the president in a deep hole four months out from the election. The survey comes as Biden is facing mounting calls to step aside from the Democrats’ presidential ticket.
