Joe Biden leading in US Election 2020 against Donald Trump: Survey

Several polls and studies have tried to predict the winner of the upcoming US election 2020, which are to be held on November 03. While some are studying the shift in the political environment in several swing states, some are turning towards astrologers for answers.

Several organisations are now conducting independent polls to predict the next President of the United States. And as per a poll conducted by the American media house, CNN, the Democrat candidate and former Vice PresidentJoe Bidenis still the frontrunner against the Republican candidate and current PresidentDonald Trump.

The poll revealed that among the registered voters and the participants,54 per cent back Biden and 42 per cent Trump,matching several other opinion polls and predictions made by different organisations and individuals.

This poll was conducted by CNN withSSRS, an independent research company. In this poll, nearly 1,005 American voters were approached and questioned between October 23-26, 2020. The interviews were conducted through telephone.

As per the results, among those who have voted,Bidenleads by64 per cent to 34 per cent votes forTrump. The category of people who were yet to vote, at the time of being interviewed, also favoured Bidenwith 63 per cent leadand Trump lagging behind with 33 per cent.

However, a shift in results is seen in the category of the voters who plan to vote on November 03 with Trump leading with59 per cent, andBidensecuring only 36 per cent voters' attention.

When the voter category is shifted to demographics of women versus men, women are still preferring the Democrats by 61 per cent and only37 per cent women supporting Republicans — with women of colour favouring Biden by 77 per cent and 54per centwhite women also giving votes to Biden.Men, on the other hand, have a very small difference between the two leaders with Trump leading the race with 48 per cent and Biden matching up with 47 per cent — with men of colour giving a lead toBidenby64 per cent but white men favouringTrumpwith 56 per cent.

Another interesting observation made in this poll has been that American voters with college degrees, and higher, are favouringBidenwhereas people without degrees are split evenly. Similarly,49 per cent white women without college degreesfavour Biden and same withTrump.

Nearly 48 per cent ofBidensupporters have also revealed that their vote is mainly a vote against the current President rather than a vote in favour ofJoe Biden.On the other hand,79 per centtrumpsupporters have said their vote is in favour of the President rather than against his rival.

Overall,Bidenis still leading the polls for the upcoming US election 2020, butTrump,too, can gain the lead if the political environment in the country keeps shifting. The final result of the elections will be revealed a little later than the estimated time period due to the majority votes being cast by mail-in.
