Specifically, about 41% of voters participating in the 5-day poll (ending on April 9) said they would vote for Mr. Biden if the election were held at the time they responded to the survey, compared to 37% for former President Trump. Accordingly, Mr. Biden leads Mr. Trump by 4%, higher than the 1% rate in the poll also conducted by Reuters/Ipsos in early March.
The poll also found that many voters have yet to make a final choice. About 22% of voters said they had not yet chosen a candidate. These voters are leaning toward third-party options or are likely to abstain from voting. The Reuters/Ipsos poll included responses from 833 registered voters surveyed online nationwide. The margin of error for the poll is about 4%. Meanwhile, a new Pew Research Center report by a VNA correspondent in Washington showed that Republicans have gained significant advantages among voters without a college degree, rural voters and white evangelical Protestant voters. Democrats still hold onto important groups such as black voters and young people, while gaining ground among college-educated voters.
In the run-up to the 2020 election, more voters across the country identified as Democrats than Republicans, but four years into President Joe Biden’s presidency, that gap has narrowed, and American voters are now roughly evenly split between the two parties, according to The New York Times on April 9. Some voters are now concerned about Biden’s age, while Trump is embroiled in several criminal charges.
