President Trump is gaining among independent voters in head-to-head matchups with the Democratic presidential front-runners, according to a new IBD-TIPP poll.
Former Vice President Joe Biden leads Trump by just 1 point among independents, which is down from Biden's 18-point lead among the voting group in September.
In a head-to-head matchup with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), 49 percent of independents backed Trump, while 43 percent threw their support behind the senator in the poll, which was released on Monday.
A 4-point gap separated Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Trump, with the president receiving 48 percent support among independents and Sanders garnering 44 percent.
Warren led Trump with independents by 2 points in the September poll, while Sanders led the president by 9 points.
The new poll comes as tensions between Trump and Biden have risen on the campaign trail as the president has intensified his attacks against the former vice president, accusing Biden of efforts to pressure Ukraine to dismiss a senior prosecutor who at one point had investigated an energy company where Biden's son had served as a board member.
There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor's removal as a means of protecting his son.
Independent voters will likely play an impactful role in the 2020 general election. Forty-three percent of voters who said they identified as independent said they voted for Trump in 2016, while 42 percent went for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the Pew Research Center.
The IBD-TIPP poll was conducted from Sept. 26 to Oct. 3 among 900 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
Poll of adults. Disaster for Democrats. Will impeachment battle continue?
“There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor’s removal as a means of protecting his son.”
Julia, YOU LIE!
“There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor’s removal as a means of protecting his son.”
Julia, YOU LIE!
DUH! Only EVIL, VILE, VICIOUS, LYING Destroyers of Good People would vote for a Democrat!
What does that mean? That Joe did not overtly say that he was protecting his son when he strong-armed Ukraine into firing the prosecutor who was investigating the energy company which had inexplicably hired his unskilled son on very cushy terms?
Sorry, Julia. There is no other logical explanation for Joe’s blackmail against Ukraine.
“There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor’s removal as a means of protecting his son.”
Folks, I can’t keep up with all of this. Is the above statement true?
I’m sick of seeing...
They’re is no evidence when it refers to democrats. When there clearly is evidence.
And when it’s trunp. It’s partisan hearsay and it’s treated as the gospel.
Watch the video.
“Poll: Trump gains among independents against Biden, Warren”

Hey, that wasn’t supposed to happen!
Although unwilling to connect the dots when it comes to Democrats behavior, the left and the media (same thing) have no problem not only connecting the dots, but inventing them, when it comes to criticizing Republicans.
Guilty people say “there is no evidence”. [Mostly] innocent people say they “didn’t do it” or “it didn’t happen”.
Can the Democrats handle another week of impeachment, and Hillary taking out their candidates
Yes.
How does this DNC activist know there was no evidence?
Hillary to the rescue for sure.....
The Biden video is all I need to see. It is never good to be boastful.
Wait until the shock on the faces of the media on election day when Trump wins and Nancy loses the house - thanks to the media’s fake news.
She probably hasn’t seen the video being the good reporter she is.
“There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor’s removal as a means of protecting his son.”
Except for the video where Biden explicitly admits it.
