A new poll for the upcoming 2020 presidential election in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania shows presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden maintaining a double-digit lead over US President Donald Trump among currently registered voters.
The poll, conducted July 9-13, shows former the vice president topping his Republican rival 53-40 percent,
Biden also holds the lead over Trump among 'likely voters' at 52-42 percent, predicting a higher turnout than in the 2016 presidential election. The poll also showed a 51-44 percent split in a lower turnout model.
A poll by Rasmussen, however, showed Biden with a 3 percent lead - a 7-point collapse in a single week according to that poll.
Despite losing the popular vote in 2016 by a wide margin, Trump's wins in key states saw him receive enough electoral college votes to secure the presidency, defying previous polling that showed a clear win for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
