As always, my advice is not to put too much faith in a single poll but rather average out the results of ALL polls. Trump's approval rating dropped from a -15% to -11% and now stands at -12.2% when all polls are averaged. No positive movement in the last 2 weeks.
Here's the article that I saw. But again, these things are gonna go up and down and sideways from here on out. It's just so interesting - CNN reported today that Trump broke the polling. That's their way of saying - we don't know anything for sure.

The debates are coming up and it will be fun to watch what the polls will say then. After Nancy said Biden shouldn't debate Trump - it will be really interesting. Nancy is getting worried.

"We’ve now seen an array of new national polls conducted in the aftermath of the Republican National Convention, and collectively they show nothing major has shifted in the race between President Trump and Joe Biden. Trump may have enjoyed a very slight convention bounce, but one that represents only a small boost compared to where the race stood before the party conventions — and even that small bounce is showing some signs of fading."
Trump is certainly making gains in the approval ratings. He was -15.5% back on June 30th and is now -9.0%. But he was -3.9% on April 1st. So he is improving but way behind where he was.
There has been no movement at the national level where Trump still trails Biden by about 8%:
"His margin over Trump among decided voters has decreased by about one percentage point since before the Democratic and Republican conventions, but it still stands at 7.9 points nationwide — a little more than double what the gap was between Hillary Clinton and Trump at this point in the 2016 campaign."
The outlook in battleground states is a mixed bag -- in some states Biden has improved and in some states Trump has improved. But Biden still leads in most of them which is better than trailing.
There is little evidence that Biden is losing substantial support in the suburbs. Trump won the suburbs in 2016. In 2018 the suburbs went heavily for Democratic candidates. There is little in the polls that show a substantial shift among suburban voters back to supporting Trump.
Yes, the race, as predicted, is getting somewhat closer but Biden is ahead of where Clinton was at the same point in time in 2016. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

CNN is the worst.CNN is countered by Fox News which is heavily biased for Trump. I find MSNBC to be the worst in bias against Trump. In my opinion, Trump deserves what he gets. Never have we had a POTUS who puts himself out there on a daily basis with his tweets and comments, many of which are factually incorrect and others that are demeaning towards others. I have said from the start that if Trump just did his job and kept quiet his popularity would be much higher. But that is not his style and you reap what you sow as the old saying states.
Anyway, what the Yahoo poll showed me is that this election is going to be underestimated - again. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen

Probably boring for a lot because it is not flashy and controversial. Trump supporters wouldn't understand it. It's a little too sophisticated for those with less than a high school education.
