The survey asked 1,192 adults, including 1,047 registered voters, questions from April 16-18. This means the survey happened during the first week of Trump’s trial for hush money in New York City. The poll’s margin of error is 3.4 percentage points.
Biden’s popularity has increased in national polls over the past few weeks, and he is now tied with Trump according to a Decision Desk HQ/The Hill average of national polls. The close polls indicate that the upcoming election between Biden and Trump is expected to be a close one, just like the 2020 race that Biden won.
Trump has received more favorable polling results in battleground states. According to Decision Desk HQ averages, Trump is currently ahead in Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. On the other hand, Biden is doing better in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
