A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows a 4-point swing in Donald Trump’s favor following his New York City criminal conviction just a few weeks ago. Don is ahead of Joe 41 to 39 percent after being down 39 to 41.
From Reuters:
Donald Trump, the Republican challenger in the U.S. presidential contest, opened up a marginal 2 percentage point lead over U.S. President Joe Biden this week in the race to win the November election, as voters weigh the recent criminal convictions of Trump and of Biden’s son, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Some 41% of registered voters in the two-day poll, which closed on Tuesday, said they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, while 39% picked Biden, a Democrat. Some 20% of voters in the poll said they had not picked a candidate, were leaning toward third-party options or might not vote at all in the Nov. 5 election.
Trump’s lead was within the survey’s roughly 3 percentage point margin of error for registered voters, many of whom remain on the fence with about five months left before the Nov. 5 election. A prior Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted May 31-June 1 showed Biden with a 2 percentage point lead over Trump, 41% to 39%.
