Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden’s lead over President Donald Trump in a hypothetical general election match-up has grown to a 2020 high, according to new polling data.
The poll, conducted by Morning Consult from March 5 to 8, showed Biden besting Trump by 7 points, 48 percent to 41 percent among all voters. That’s a 3 percent increase from February, when the gap was just 4 points. However, 11 percent of respondents still said they do not know or have no opinion on the potential match-up.
Biden also beats Trump among independent voters. The Morning Consult data showed that 41 percent of the demographic currently back Biden, while just 35 percent said they back Trump. In late February, Trump and Biden were tied with 37 percent each. Meanwhile, 24 percent of independents said they remained uncommitted to either the former vice president or the incumbent president.
