US ELECTION; Results of polls have shown that Democrat Joe Biden holds a national lead over President Donald Trump

Results of polls have shown that Democrat Joe Biden holds a national lead over President Donald Trump in the 2020 United States presidential election.

Campaign activities will stop and voters will have their say on Tuesday in the country.

AFP reports a RealClearPolitics average of surveys had Biden up 7.2 percentage points Sunday.

But there have been repeated warnings from both camps that the polls could be wrong – like in 2016.

The PUNCH gathered that Biden’s national lead over the Republican president has been relatively steady in recent months.

The International News says Biden is ahead 51 per cent to 43 per cent in the latest poll taken October 27 to 29.

“But Trump is still close to Biden in enough state battlegrounds to give him the 270 state Electoral College votes needed to win a second term,” it reported.

Reuters/Ipsos polls show that the race remains a toss-up in Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona.

CNN poll also puts Biden ahead of Trump in battlegrounds.

“Polls show Trump leading in only two battleground states,” it said on its website

It noted that “recent polls from battleground states in the 2020 election show that former Vice President Biden has a lead over President Trump.”
