President Biden and ex-President Trump are in a statistical dead-heat for the November 5 election, according to the latest poll by The New York Times and Siena College, reported Sunday. 

Trump leads Biden 46% to 45% in this latest poll, a statistical tie. In the NYT/Siena College poll from February, Trump held a 48% to 43% lead. Biden now has the support of 89% of traditional Democratic voters, up from 83% in February, while Trump’s share of his traditional GOP supporters is at 94%, down from 97% in February.

Will Trump’s hush money trial in New York cut into that support further? Our pundit-at-large, Stephen Macaulay, does not think so (see The Gray Area), though we certainly will be flooded with poll updates from various organizations when the verdict comes down, probably this summer.

For Democrats; Have you changed your mind about supporting Biden? For Republicans; Will the outcome of Alvin Bragg's case against Trump change your mind about supporting the ex-president November 5? Please give Macaulay's column on Trump, Biden and the polls and leave your Comments in the column appropriate to your political leanings.
