Biden takes slight lead over Trump in post-debate poll

A new national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll has found that President Biden has taken a slight 50% to 48% lead over former President Trump in a head-to-head matchup.

The results also found that no other mainstream Democrat that has been floated as a potential replacement for Biden on the Democrat ticket -- if the 81-year-old eventually drops out of the race -- performs better than him against Trump.

Almost two-thirds of the 1,300 respondents said they believe Biden is not mentally fit to be president, including nearly 4 in 10 Democrats.

The poll also found that when third-party candidates are factored into the race, Trump leads Biden 43% to 42%, NPR reports.

Former Biden White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain says it's 'time to end the freak out'

Ron Klain, a former White House chief of staff in the Biden administration, wrote on X Friday that "with yesterdays press conf and this new poll, it’s time to end the freak out and unite behind the Democratic nominee and the only person who has ever beaten Trump."

Klain highlighted a new national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll that found President Biden has taken a slight 50% to 48% lead over former President Trump in a head-to-head matchup.

However, the same poll also found that when third-party candidates are factored into the race, Trump leads Biden 43% to 42%, NPR reports.
