Recent national polls reveal ex-President Donald Trump nudging ahead of President Joe Biden, signaling a tight race as the big vote day approaches.
The latest Emerson College survey shows Trump at 46% voter support, slightly topping Biden’s 45%. This close margin hints at a deeply split electorate, with about 8% of voters yet to make up their minds.
The survey also considers how undecided voters might sway the election. It suggests Trump’s lead might grow a tad if they lean one way, with 51% favoring him against Biden’s 49%.

This emphasizes how crucial it is for each candidate to win over those undecided voters. Third-party contenders add another layer to the mix. Trump stays ahead even when they’re in the picture.
Adding third-party choices doesn’t shake up the race much. Trump’s support remains at 43%, with Biden close behind at 42%. Candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others draw considerable interest, showing the varied preferences of American voters.

Biden seems to have an edge among likely voters, hinting that voter turnout could be a big deal on Election Day. Spencer Kimbell, Emerson College Polling’s top dog, commented on the findings, saying they challenge the belief that Trump backers are more fired up.
“This defies conventional wisdom, challenging the notion that Trump supporters are more energized,” Kimbell told the Hill. The survey, covering 1,438 registered voters, comes with a 2.5 percentage point margin of error, highlighting how tight the race is. It reflects broader voter worries, with the economy and immigration topping the list of concerns affecting their decisions at the ballot box.
