Trump jumps out to 6-point lead following Biden's debate disaster: Poll

Former President Donald Trump‘s lead over Joe Biden has dramatically expanded in the days following the president’s disastrous debate, according to a new poll released as Democrats huddle and plot their next steps.

A New York Times-Siena College poll released Wednesday shows Trump leading Biden 49% to 43% nationally among likely voters, a 3-point improvement for Trump from just a week earlier before the debate. The survey, which was conducted from June 28 through Tuesday, July 2, found Trump is leading by even more among registered voters, 49% to 41%.
