Biden gets no convention bounce after Democratic gathering: Reuters/Ipsos poll
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden saw no bounce in popular support after last week's Democratic National Convention, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday, pointing to Americans' hardened political views. Biden held his lead over President Donald Trump in the national opinion poll taken Aug. 19 to 25, with 47% of registered voters backing the Democratic challenger and 40% supporting the Republican incumbent. The previous Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, saw a 4-percentage-point gain against Trump after her party's 2016 convention, while Trump's support also rose 4 points after his party's gathering that year.
