Former President Donald Trump is now leading President Biden by five points nationally, expanding his lead after his near-assassination on Saturday.
The CBS poll, published Thursday, shows Trump up 52%-47% nationally among likely voters. The same survey had him up by two points on July 3 (50%-48%).
A Republican president has not won the popular vote in two decades. It’s been three decades since one won by over 5%.
Trump also has a notable lead in key battleground states, where he bests Biden 51%-48%.
The former president upped his lead by one point across the swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — since the last time CBS conducted a battleground survey one week ago.
