Biden and Trump Tied in National Polls as Election Nears

The race remains tightly contested with independents nearly split and no significant boost for Biden post-State of the Union.

A recent Florida Atlantic University poll shows a dead heat between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, with both tied at 44% among voters nationwide.
The poll indicates a highly partisan race, with the majority of Democrats favoring Biden and the majority of Republicans favoring Trump. Independents are nearly evenly split.
Biden's performance at the State of the Union did not significantly boost his approval ratings, with more voters viewing him as less fit for office post-speech.
Trump maintains a double-digit lead over Biden among independent voters, according to a survey from the Economist/YouGov.
The presidential election remains tightly contested, with Trump's lead in some polls within the margin of error, suggesting room for shifts in voter preference.
