The results of the IBD/TIPP tracking poll, which was released Saturday, energized President Trump’s hope for reelection, even if he fails to win the popular vote with the survey by Investor’s Business Daily saying, “Biden has a narrow 3-point edge in swing states, those six states decided by less than 2 points in 2016.”

Democratic presidential nominee; Biden has 49.5 percent likely voters support nationwide in the poll, in relation to 44.7 percent for President Trump, a 4.8 percent stay ahead, and this is outside its 3.2 percent margin of error.

The incumbent President gained almost a full percentage point on Biden from the poll’s Friday measurement, which showed the Democrat with a 5.6 percent leading margin with the survey seeing a consistent but see-sawing Biden lead in recent weeks, with Trump only 2 points behind on Oct. 20.

With Biden scooping large vote totals in all blue regions like the northeast and the West Coast, his national leadership could be unsure. For instance, in the midwestern swing states that were once strong Democrat grounds and which Trump failed completely in 2016 Biden leads by only 2 percent points, according to the survey.

Moreover, President Trump has made obvious improvements over his 2016 support among black and Hispanic voters. The poll showed Trump with 48 percent of the Latino vote, right behind Biden’s 50 percent, and 13 percent of the African-American support, an impressive gain over the 8 percent who voted for him in 2016.
