The WPA Intelligence poll that surveyed 1,571 registered voters was first reported by The New York Post. 

The poll, conducted from May 10 to 13, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5%, revealed some interesting findings. It showed that independent voters are now supporting Biden with a significant lead of 14% points, which is an increase from the 9% points he won among independents three years ago.

The poll indicated that in generic down-ballot races, Democratic Party is ahead with a 47% to 42% lead, while Trump remains the frontrunner as the Republican candidate for the next presidential elections. 

The poll highlights that Biden is not completely immune to a potential loss next year. Only 46% of voters approve of the president’s job performance, while 54% disapprove. On the other hand, Trump’s ratings are even worse, as only 32% of registered voters hold a favorable impression of him, while a significant majority of 62% have unfavorable impressions.
