YouGov Poll of LVs Biden 51 Trump 42

B Rated pollster. This poll was done October 4-6. This was a 1 point move from their poll a couple days ago that was Biden plus 8, that was from October 2-3

This poll was Biden +5 before the debate. So it's kind of been an outlier in Trump's favor.

Pushed the poll average to Biden 51.5 Trump 42.4.

The trend line from their last three polls is clear and favors Biden. The lead they now give Biden is greater than the aggregates of all polls had been as recently as ten days ago, and this is yet another poll showing Biden over 50%.

So yeah, this is significant movement. And this is still likely to be on the low side of the average soon.

I think several other polls are due out this week. We could see the composite spike above 10.0 by the weekend.

Don't forget, that a couple weeks ago when this poll came out with Biden only +5, people here were a little spooked and some in the media started to run with the "race is tightening" narrative.
