In the new survey, Biden has the edge over Trump, 50% to 45%.

Rasmussen said that Trump is leading among Republicans and voters under the age of 40. Its poll is made up of 2,500 likely voters.
The poll is one out of a handful of polls that show the race is tightening as both candidates step up their campaigning.
Just yesterday, Secrets reported that a Zogby poll had Biden over Trump, 45.5% to 43.4%, among likely voters.
Since the last Rasmussen poll, Trump has recovered from COVID-19 and returned to campaigning in person, and his Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, began her confirmation hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee and will likely be confirmed.
