US election 2020: Joe Biden leads Trump in recent poll

The recent election by NBC news and Wall Street Journal released on Sunday shows US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump by 9 points.

The result of election came on a day before the start of the Democratic national convention where Biden is expected to be formally nominated presidential candidate.

Fifty-one per cent of polled voters said that they would vote for Biden over Trump, while only 41 per cent said that they would vote for Trump.

Most of the NBC News and Wall Street Journal poll was conducted after Senator Kamala Harris was announced as Biden’s running mate and the vice presidential nominee.

It is a long-standing tradition for the party’s nominee for president to announce his or her running mate before the party convention.

The four-day Democratic national convention starts on Monday and is ready to take place online.
