Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads Republican President Donald Trump nationally among likely US voters by 9 percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that showed Trump's "law and order" message falling short with its target audience of suburban voters.
The Sept 11-15 opinion poll, released yesterday, found that 50% of likely voters said they were casting their ballots for Biden while 41% were doing the same for Trump.
Another 3% said they would support a third-party candidate and the rest were undecided.
