101. No; Biden is still behind among white voters in the latest polls

Sun Jul 19, 2020, 03:52 PM

Jul 2020

YouGov 12-14 Jul: Biden 42% Trump 49% https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/hpupr0zhkl/econTabReport.pdf
Fox Biden 12-15 Jul: 42% Trump 48% https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2020/07/Fox_July-12-15-2020_Complete_National_Topline_July-19-Release.pdf
ABC/WP Trump has 4 percentage point lead: https://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1214a22020Election.pdf

In the YouGov poll which has the 49% for Trump, 'Other' is 4%, 'Not Sure' 4%, 'wouldn't vote' 1%. It says registered voters, but I think that must be adjusted for "likely to vote". But Trump is still ahead among white voters, unfortunately.
