Joe Biden keeps his wide national lead over Donald Trump as swing states tighten
The conventions are over and each party's ticket has been made official. The COVID-19 pandemic is still infecting tens of thousands of Americans every day, and anti-racism protests continue — some of them becoming violent. But public opinion has largely held steady, meaning Joe Biden remains the favourite to defeat Donald Trump in two months. But his path to the White House might be becoming a little narrower, as polls in a number of swing states tighten. The CBC's Presidential Poll Tracker, an aggregation of all polls in the United States, still shows Biden leading in enough states to win him the election.
That's counting three additional TV channels, out-of-home viewing and connected TVs. Tuesday's cable news numbers are in, and now we know just how "yuge" the Biden - Trump debate From 9 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET, a 16-channel simulcast reached 73 .1 million total viewers , according to Nielsen.
