Biden has 55 percent favourability
The former vice president also trails ahead of his Republican contender by 1 point and leads with 2 points amongst the White voters. With respect to senior citizens votes, Biden showcases a sweeping victory by 65 percent to 44 percent and has garnered 55 percent favourability in the 2020 US election over US President Donald Trump whose approval ratings stand at 42 percent. The national polls however can’t guarantee the assured victory as in 2016, Hillary Clinton also had a clear lead over Trump in the national polls, she, however, lost in the electoral college. However, the swing states will decide the fate of the candidates on November 3.
