Trump Jumps To Lead In New Polls

Former President Donald Trump established a large lead over President Joe Biden in a number of recent polls, indicating that his support may be growing as he wins a number of Republican nominating contests. Furthermore, the polls also indicate weakening support for Biden among a number of demographic groups that traditionally have supported Democratic candidates.

The last several days have seen a number of new polls showing Trump with a considerable lead nationally. In addition, Trump has also taken the lead in most polls of crucial swing states, according to recent polls.

According to a new CBS News poll, Trump now holds a 4% lead nationally, including a raw majority of voters.

His 52-48% lead over Biden also includes a large win among independent voters. That group backed Trump by a margin of 15% with Trump gaining 57% to Biden’s 42%.

Every major poll shows Donald Trump beating Joe Biden.
