Poll shows Trump trailing Biden

WASHINGTON - A national Fox News poll released on Sunday shows US President Donald Trump trailing former vice-president Joe Biden and at least four other Democratic contenders as early campaigning for the 2020 election begins to gain steam.

A separate survey of key battleground states, by CBS, shows Democrats strongly favor Biden as the candidate most likely to beat Trump in next year's elections.

While the latest polling news proved heartening to Democrats, the Trump reelection campaign reportedly has cut ties to three of its own pollsters after some of their results leaked. They showed Trump trailing far behind Biden in key states.
