Incumbent US President Joe Biden is closing in on former White House incumbent Donald Trump in so-called "swing states". This is what Bloomberg writes about.
Biden had his best performance in the Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll, even though voters "gave him low ratings in the debates amid panic in his party".
"Republican Donald Trump beat Democrat Biden by just 2 percentage points, 47% to 45%, in the critical states needed to win the November election. This is the smallest difference since the start of the survey in October last year.
Biden is already beating Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin. It is within the statistical margin of error of the survey in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina, and lags behind the most in the critical state of Pennsylvania," the publication wrote.
However, the survey found voters "wavering" whether Biden performed poorly at the debate, with fewer than one in five respondents believing the 81-year-old was a "more consistent, mentally sound or dominant participant.
"The survey shows that supporting Biden would be supporting a candidate about whom voters have deep concerns, especially about his age and intelligence.
Nearly three in 10 Democrats said Biden should drop out of the race -- far more than the 9 percent of Republicans who said Trump should do the same," the article said.
