Joe Biden holds a narrow lead among independents against Donald Trump in a new poll, which shows the two in a tie nationally.
According to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist College national, Trump and Biden are tied with 49% of the vote, with only 2% of voters undecided. One demographic has swung in Biden’s favor — independents, who favor Biden over Trump, 50% to 48%. This is a stark difference from the last poll in May, which had Biden trailing Trump with independents, 54% to 42%.
Despite the deficit with independents, Trump gained slightly since May, which had Biden at 50% and Trump at 48%. The former president also leads against successor among people who have an unfavorable opinion of both candidates, with 48% compared to Biden’s 41%.Biden’s inroads among independents since May may be related to Trump’s recent conviction in his Manhattan hush money case.
Of the top three issues voters cited, Trump polls better on two of the three. Of those surveyed, 30% said that inflation is at the top of their mind, 29% said preserving democracy, and 18% said immigration.
