Biden managed to reach a 10 point lead in late June, but is now back to an 8 point lead. However, the reason is a couple polls where Trump got over 43% of the votes, not Biden polling lower - who is consistently between 49% and 50% in his polling averages. |
Many thanks.
I have a feeling that if Biden keeps a difference of at least 5% he is safe to win as I think the "silent majority effect" equals to around 3-4% of the votes so at this moment I think Biden is still alright to win. Although in US is more complicated because you need to track it state by state and maybe a good portion of this Biden advantage comes from the coasts.
ANother interesting impact I heard about is that young people have a higher tendency of not going to vote for some reason, older people are more engaged into voting no matter what and that also might have played a part in Trump winning in 2016. No idea if it is true though.
