RON’S COMMENT: This is an overview of the 29 national polls testing Biden vs. Trump that were conducted since the Iowa caucus in early February. As you can see, Biden’s general election lead has been remarkably stable throughout this tumultuous nine-week period. These polls were taken by a wide range of pollsters. Biden led 27 of them, Trump led one and one was tied.
MOST RECENT NATIONAL POLLS (previously unreported):

RON’S COMMENT: We see three different pictures of the presidential race in today’s results: One has Biden far ahead, one has him modestly ahead and one has the race tied. Which to believe? We have to wait for more polls…. More on today’s new polls:
