It’s still a basic tie since both of rcp averages of the most recent polls are within the MOE. But on this day 12 April 2020 Biden 48.1, Trump 42.1. Biden had a 6-point lead instead of trailing by 0.2. I think anyone taking on Trump should be ahead by quite a lot. Not falling within the MOE.
https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2020/trump-vs-bidenIn fact, in 2020 Biden never trailed Trump in every poll taken. At least those listed on RCP. This year, Trump has lead Biden since September of last year according to RCP averages. But am I wrong in thinking whoever is the democratic nominee should be leading Trump by a lot, perhaps 10 points? Not being in a basic tie. That the nominee shouldn’t be giving Trump a 50-50 shot at regaining the white house?
