US election polls tracker 2020: Will Donald Trump or Joe Biden win the race to be president?


 

Joe Biden and Donald Trump will go head to head for the White House on 3 November, with polls showing Joe Biden's lead widening

  
Democratic challenger Joe Biden is currently leading Donald Trump in the national polls as the US approaches its 2020 presidential election.
The 10-poll average indicates that just over half of Americans intend to back Joe Biden while Mr Trump’s support trails this by around five or six points.
Americans will vote on Tuesday, November 3, in order to elect their next president, either giving Mr Trump another four years or handing over the keys to the White House to Mr Biden.
However, on October 2, the president was taken to hospital with Covid-19. Though the president now appears to have recovered, it is unclear what effect, if any, this will have on the presidential race.
Mr Trump’s age, gender and weight put him into a relatively high-risk category for the virus’s worst effects. His recuperation will hamper his ability to hold the mass rallies that fire up by his most loyal supporters.
On the other hand, the first world leader to test positive for Covid-19, Boris Johnson, saw a remarkable increase in his personal approval rating during his illness. YouGov polling just after he left hospital saw his net approval as Prime Minister go from four per cent to 40 per cent, as the British public sympathised with his plight.
Mr Trump triumphed in 2016 despite losing the popular vote, so it is still far too early to say who will win the White House later this year. 

Who is in the lead for president 2021? 

Joe Biden remains the favourite in the next US president betting as he and President Trump enter the all-important last week of campaigning ahead of the Nov 3 vote.
UK bookmakers appear to be setting out their stall to take on Mr Trump by making the present POTUS the subject of their enhanced-odds sign-up offers.
After shortening last week, following the final head-to-head debate, Donald Trump’s US election odds have stagnated, with Biden still the odds-on favourite.
These are the latest odds from the bookmaker William Hill. 
In a bad-tempered and at times chaotic debate, the candidates ripped chunks out of each other on their records and issues such as the economy and race.
Mr Trump was rebuked several times by Chris Wallace, the moderator, for speaking over his opponent. At one point, after incessant interruptions from the president, Mr Biden said: "Will you shut up, man?"
Tempers were much more controlled at the second debate in Nashville, in which insults flew but neither candidate could land a killer blow.
The pair had their microphones turned off at the final presidential debate on Thursday 22 October to stop them talking over each other. The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) has announced that it would enforce two minutes of uninterrupted speaking time for each candidate per topic after the first debate between rivals became a farce.
