Donald Trump has widened his lead in the presidential race against Joe Biden after the president’s disastrous debate performance, according to a new poll from The New York Times and Siena College.
Trump now leads Biden by 49 percent to 43 percent among likely voters nationally, a three-point swing toward Trump from a week earlier. Notably, it is the biggest lead Trump has recorded in a Times/Siena poll since 2015 and will do nothing to ease pressure on Biden to pull out of the race.
The gap is even wider among registered voters with Trump at 49 percent compared with Biden’s 41 percent.
