Today's Presidential Polls

Both of these pollsters polled registered voters, as opposed to likely voters. That's a defensible choice, since many people don't know for sure what they will do 6 months from now. However, it's also a choice that's going to boost Joe Biden's numbers, since there are fewer hyper-devoted, sure-to-vote-no-matter-what Democrats than Republicans.

All of this said, the Pennsylvania poll in particular, supports the observation we made in the Nebraska item above, that this race is far closer than many polls make it seem.

State Joe Biden Donald Trump Start End Pollster
Colorado 49% 39% Mar 15 Mar 19 Colorado Polling Inst.
Pennsylvania 48% 38% Mar 20 Mar 31 Franklin+Marshall Coll.
