At a Glance: Presidential Polls at Two Weeks Out

With just over two weeks until Election Day, here’s a summary of the latest general election polling:

• The RealClearPolitics average of Ohio polling shows the presidential contest at a statistical dead heat, with Joe Biden leading President Trump by 0.6%. That’s compared to a sizeable advantage for Biden in the national average of polls, including in key battleground states.
• RealClearPolitics has also published a comparison of the presidential polls in 2020 and 2016. Nationwide, Biden is ahead of Hillary Clinton’s lead over Trump at this time in the 2016 race.
• Gallup surveys have found that a majority (54%) rate Trump positively for his job performance on the economy, and 55% consider themselves and their family to be better off than they were four years ago.
