The 2020 U.S. Presidential Election saw a significant amount of polling data being released, providing valuable insights into the race's key areas. Here, we take a look at the Democratic nomination polls, general election matchups, and battleground state polling.
Democratic Nomination Polls
Throughout the primary season, Joe Biden emerged as the leading Democratic candidate, eventually securing the nomination. Biden led most national polls against Donald Trump throughout 2020, demonstrating his strong appeal to voters.
General Election Matchups
In the national general election polls, Joe Biden consistently held a lead over Donald Trump, often in the range of 4-10 percentage points. From February through October, polling showed Biden generally around 49-52% and Trump around 40-46%. The final average polling percentages closely matched the actual results: Biden with approximately 51.3% to Trump's 46.9%. Polls slightly underestimated Trump’s vote share but correctly indicated a Biden lead nationally [1].
Battleground States
Though national polls showed a Biden lead, polls tended to underestimate Trump’s strength in key battleground states such as Ohio, Florida, and Iowa during the race. However, Biden did win back important Midwestern battleground states (including Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania) and gained in Sun Belt states, which was crucial to his victory [1].
More detailed polling data from battlegrounds and matchup polling is typically available from political analysis sites such as RealClearPolitics and specialized polls. The primary trend, however, was a consistent Biden lead nationally with tighter margins in swing states.
Additional Polling Insights
One year before the election, according to The New York Times Upshot/Siena College, Donald Trump trailed Joe Biden but led Bernie Sanders in battleground states. Additionally, the Democratic Presidential Nomination was tracked by RealClear Politics, while Monmouth University Poll revealed that partisan opinion on Trump was becoming more entrenched. FiveThirtyEight also polled on whether Americans supported impeaching Trump.
The Kentucky Governor race between Bevin and Beshear was also discussed during this period.
In summary, the 2020 polling showed Biden ahead in both the Democratic nomination race and the general election, with slightly underestimated Trump support in specific battleground states. Biden’s wins in key Midwestern and Sun Belt states were decisive in the election outcome [1].
