Iran Press/America: Forty-four percent of respondents in the USA Today–Suffolk University poll said they backed the former vice president, while 38 percent said they supported Trump, according to The Hill.
The last USA Today–Suffolk poll showed Trump leading Biden by 3 points in December. Biden was in the middle of a crowded presidential primary late last year, while Trump was dealing with the House impeachment inquiry into his past conversations with the president of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, 57 percent of respondents said Biden "cares about people like me," compared to only 39 percent who said the same about Trump.
Trump is now dealing with the ongoing coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., while Biden has also put forth his own coronavirus response, putting together an advisory of public health experts and holding numerous virtual events on the matter.
US President has faced backlash for parts of his coronavirus response, most recently for suggesting medical experts study the use of disinfectants to treat COVID-19.
Biden now leads Trump in a number of national-level polls. The RealClearPolitics polling average showed Biden leading Trump by 6.3 points on Monday.
