Biden's AVERAGE lead down to +7.6, lowest for the primary season [View all]

According to RCP POLLS tracker of AVERAGE major poll results, Joe Biden's is now down to a single digit lead of +7.6 over nearest rival Elizabeth Warren.

This is the smallest AVERAGE lead from the major polls to date in the primary contest.

Biden's AVERAGE support is currently at 29%, which is lower than the 29.3% he had on April 25th, the date he announced his campaign.
Over the last 2 months, Biden's support has been fluctuating in the 26-30% range.

Warren's AVERAGE support has broken the 20% level for the first time, and now stands at 21.4%.

Sanders' support stays relatively flat in the 16-17% range over the last 6-7 weeks.

As I always say, the polls are what the polls are.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
