https://www.investors.com/news/trump-vs-biden-poll-favors-democrat-after-debate-ibd-tipp-presidential-poll/The latest IBD/TIPP Trump vs. Biden poll finds former Vice President Joe Biden with a wider lead over President Donald Trump. The tracking poll, which includes five days of polling, includes only one day after the last debate, but the initial sign doesn't suggest a big change in the race, the IBD/TIPP presidential poll update shows.
The latest 2020 election poll update shows the Democratic challenger leading the Republican incumbent by 6.4 points, 50.7%-44.3%, in a four-way presidential poll of likely voters. Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen has the support of 2.2%, and Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins 0.7%.
2020 Presidential Poll Trend: Four-Way Race
The IBD/TIPP 2020 Presidential Election Tracking Poll shows Biden with his biggest lead in the past week. Biden's lead peaked at 8.6 points in IBD/TIPP's Oct. 13 presidential poll. The race's tightest point came on Tuesday, Oct. 20, when Biden led by 2.3 points.
Biden's support has climbed back over the key 50% level for the first time in more than a week. Trump's support has backslid after peaking at 46%, right below his 2016 vote total, on Oct. 21.

OP
Until next week when it, for no apparent reason, tilts back toward Trump.

I think you're right. It shouldn't be that volatile. Especially over such a short time period.

Exactly...not sure what they are doing other than losing their reputation as a reliable pollster

This poll is all over the place. I'm not sure I am buying any of it.

(28,877 posts)2. I think the general consensus was..
that Trump did not land any real knockout blows
in the debate, and that Biden held his own.
I would expect the polls to reflect that view,
and they do.
We got this!

(509 posts)5. This poll has wild swings
I think a couple of weeks ago, Biden was ahead by 3, then by 10, then by 5, then by 2. Now he's up again quite a bit. Next week, he'll be 1 point ahead. This is one poll I can't heavily invested in. That being said, it's good Biden went up after the debate.

If you have a poll for every possible outcome, then you can never be wrong. Consequently, you can never be right as well.
