US Election polls tracker live: Trump slips again as Biden soars into the lead | World | News

As trying presidents have discovered in the past, the number of votes you win is less important than where you win them.

Most states nearly always vote the same way, meaning in reality, there’s only a handful of states where both candidates stand a chance of winning.

These are the primary places where the election will be won and lost, and are known as battleground states.

As it stands, polls in the battleground states are favouring Mr Biden, doubtlessly causing some concern for Mr Trump and his campaign team.
