The Democrat has been ahead of Trump in most national polls since the start of the year ahead of the November 3, 2020, elections.
Most of the polls suggest that Biden has big leads in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. These are the states where Trump won by small margins in 2016.
The US media reports that white seniors have expressed their disapproval at how Trump has handled the pandemic in the country.
