US President Joe Biden appears with a small lead over Donald Trump in November's presidential election, according to a Reuters poll/Ipsos concluded this Tuesday (30).
About 40% of voters interviewed in the survey said they would vote for Biden if the election were held today, compared to 39% who chose former President Trump.
Before, Biden accumulated a 4-point lead over Trump, in another Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted April 4-8. Now, you only have 1 point advantage.
The poll had a margin of error of roughly 3 percentage points for registered voters, and many voters remain on the fence six months before the November election.
About 28% of registered voters surveyed said they had not yet chosen a candidate, were leaning toward third-party options or might not vote at all.
The poll found that 8% of respondents would choose Robert Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist running as an independent, if he were on the ballot with Trump and Biden.
Trump (415) was ahead of Biden (35%) among male respondents, while Biden led among women with 35%, while Trump had 33% of preference. The Republican appears ahead among those interviewed without a college degree, while Biden led among those who had at least a degree.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll included responses from 856 registered voters who were surveyed online across the country.
Trump in court and Biden criticized
Trump spent much of April in a Manhattan courtroom, in hearings for one of the four criminal cases he faces.
The trial in New York involves accusations that Trump paid bribes to cover up an affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
An earlier Reuters/Ipsos poll also found that a firm majority of Americans considered the allegations serious. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies any involvement.
Biden's responsibilities include concerns about his age, 81, as well as strong criticism from a slice of the Democratic Party over support for Israel's war against Hamas militants.
