Another national poll released Wednesday by Grinnell College and conducted by Selzer & Co. showed Biden with a similar, high single-digit lead. Just less than half of likely voters surveyed, 49 percent, backed Biden and 41 percent supported Trump — an 8-point edge for Biden.
The latest polling results come after the conclusion of Republicans’ nominating convention last week, when Trump excoriated Biden as beholden to the “radical left” wing of the Democratic Party and warned that the “American way of life” would be destroyed were he not reelected.
Biden’s campaign aides have insisted in recent days that they expected a tightening of the race as the general election campaign enters its final stretch, pointing to the political polarization of the country’s electorate.
The USA Today/Suffolk University poll was conducted Aug. 28-31, surveying 1,000 registered voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
The Grinnell-Selzer poll was conducted Aug. 26-30, surveying 827 likely voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
