US Election 2020: Who Is Leading? Check Statistics And Results

Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump in the National Polls for the Presidential election. 

But that does not a guarantee the Democratic candidate victory. Hillary Clinton also had a clear lead over Trump in the polls for almost the entire 2016 campaign. She ended up losing in the electoral college. 

Because the Presidential voting system assigns each state a number of electoral college votes,which go to the State's victor regardless of the margin of victory (with the exception of Nebraska and Maine), a handful of swing states will probably decide the election and be targeted heavily by campaigners. 

The latest polling results show 264 for Biden and 214 for Trump, out of the 270 mark.  This puts Biden ahead of Trump nationally. 

While the national poll tracker is a poor indicator of how the crucial swing States will sway the election, a strong polling lead across the country can point to how the race will develop.
