Former Vice President
Joe Biden holds a double-digit lead over
President Trump in a head-to-head match-up, according to a poll released Tuesday.
Biden, the Democratic front-runner, leads Trump by 12 points in an
Investors Business Daily/TIPP poll, with the former vice president supported by 54 percent of poll respondents. The margin is a 1 point drop for Biden over Trump between August and July, when Biden held a 13-point margin over Trump in the same poll.
Other top Democratic 2020 contenders, Sens.
Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.),
Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and
Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), also hold leads over Trump, albeit by single digits.
Sanders was supported by 49 percent of poll respondents, compared to 45 percent for Trump, while Warren and Harris led 49 percent to 46 percent for Trump, in a hypothetical general election contest.
Both Biden and Sanders held strong leads over the president among independent voters, according to the poll, with both men winning more than 50 percent of independent voters in head-to-head match-ups with Trump.
Warren, meanwhile, struggled in that demographic, winning the support of just 47 percent of independent voters to 45 percent for Trump.
The match-up polling measured responses from 848 registered voters collected from Aug. 22-30, with a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.
