New poll conducted after assassination attempt gives Trump a lead over Biden
From CNN's Ariel Edwards-Levy

A new CBS News/YouGov poll finds former president Donald Trump leading President Joe Biden among likely voters nationally, 52% to 47%.

The poll was conducted Tuesday through Thursday, in the wake of the assassination attempt against Trump over the weekend and during the beginning of the Republican National Convention.

The results mark the widest advantage yet for Trump in the CBS/YouGov poll, which had previously shown a consistently tight race between the two candidates.

Head-to-head polling released earlier this month from other outlets ranged from showing an advantage for Trump to a near-even race.

In a hypothetical matchup against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump has a narrow edge, taking 51% to Harris’ 48% among likely voters, the CBS/YouGov poll found.

After being told that “after the debate, some Democratic officials reportedly said Joe Biden should step aside as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in 2024,” 56% of registered voters say Biden should step aside and give another Democrat a chance to run, the poll found, with 44% saying he should continue running. But those numbers are reversed among Democratic registered voters, who say, 56% to 44%, that Biden should continue running.

How this poll was conducted: The CBS News/YouGov poll surveyed 2,247 registered voters on July 16-18, using a nationally representative online panel. Results among the full sample of registered voters and among the full sample of likely voters have a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. Results among likely voters in battleground states have a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points.
