2020 Presidential Election Polls
National Polls
As of October 22, 2020, the RealClearPolitics polling average shows Donald Trump leading Joe Biden by 4.4 percentage points in the national polls. This is a wider lead than Trump had before the first presidential debate on September 29th. Biden's performance in the debate was widely seen as shaky, and this may have contributed to Trump's lead in the polls.
State Polls
The 270toWin polling average shows Trump leading in 26 states, while Biden is leading in 22 states. The remaining 2 states, Georgia and Ohio, are considered toss-ups. These polls indicate that the race is still very close, with either candidate still having a shot at winning the election.
Approval Ratings
The president's approval rating is currently at 42%, according to the FiveThirtyEight polling average. This is a slight increase from his approval rating in September, which was 40%. Trump's approval rating has remained relatively stable throughout his presidency, despite the many controversies he has been involved in.
Conclusion
The 2020 presidential election is still very close, with either candidate still having a shot at winning. The polls will continue to be closely watched in the coming weeks as the election approaches.
