RNC gives Trump a boost as Biden’s lead narrows, poll shows

The Republican National Convention 🧜gave Presid꧑ent Trump a bump.

A found that Joe Biden’s lead over Trump narrowed by four points in the wake of the GOP’s four-day sales pitch that ended Thursday night.

That’s in contrast to the flat response found by the same survey on the day after the Democrats’ all-virtual convention the week before.

The Morning Consult pol🎃l of 4,035 likely 🍌voters, taken Friday, found the former vice president leading Trump 50-44 percent. The poll had a two-point margin of error.

But on Aug. 23, Biden’s lead was in the double digits: 52 percent to 42 percent for the incumbent.

Suburbanites accounted for the biggest shift. They sided with Biden by a 14-point margin in the same survey last week — before the Republicans hammered voters with a law-and-order message in recent days.

Post-convention, suburban support for Biden dropped by six points, the 𝄹poll found.
