The current president has gained a slim lead over his Republican rival, two polls show.
President Joe Biden has gained a narrow lead over Donald Trump in two polls, eight months before November's presidential election.It was confirmed this week that there will be a rematch between the two politicians in the upcoming ballot after they both passed the nomination threshold, having won multiple presidential primaries.Since then, political analysis has turned to who will come out on top, as they reenact their 2020 fight.In two polls, it appears Biden might marginally beat his rival.
Biden, 81, also used the speech to tackle concerns about his age, saying: 'In my career I've been told I'm too young and I'm too old. Whether young or old, I've always known what endures.'In general, polling has been quite split and the Democrat has led Trump in other national polls. One poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation showed Biden leading Trump 47 percent to 44 percent. There were 1,072 registered voters surveyed between February 20 and 28 in this poll.
