Among those between the ages of 45 and 64, Biden holds a two-point lead (49 to 47 percent), while among those aged 65 and older, 51 percent said they’ll vote for Biden and 47 percent said Trump.

Additionally, the poll also asked those who have already voted in the 2020 election and found Biden ahead by nine points.

According to the poll, 49 percent of respondents said they already voted for Biden, compared with 40 percent that said they voted for Trump.

Comparatively, in the final poll conducted prior to the 2016 elections, among those who already voted, 49 percent said they voted for Clinton, while 42 percent said Trump.

While Biden’s lead over Trump is larger than Clinton’s at the same point in 2016, several other nationally conducted polls show a tight race between the two candidates.
