A new post-debate CBS poll released today (Wednesday) shows Joe Biden losing ground to former President Donald Trump both nationally and in the crucial swing states.
Per the poll, Trump now leads Biden by one additional point compared to pre-debate, 51-48 instead of 50-48. More importantly, Trump has taken the lead over Biden in battleground states 51-48, after trailing Biden 50-49 the previous month.
Even worse for the President, whose chances for reelection have been increasingly questioned even within his own party, is the enthusiasm gap between the parties.
90% of Republicans registered to vote say they definitely will - compared to just 81% of Democrats and 71% of Independents. In an election expected to come down to close races in key states, this spells real trouble for Biden.
