United States President Joe Biden is trailing Donald Trump by six points in a New York Times/Siena College poll released Wednesday, conducted after his calamitous debate performance last week – according to the New York Times cited by Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Biden scored 43 percent among likely voters against Donald Trump’s 49 percent.

"It is the largest lead Mr. Trump has recorded in a Times/Siena poll since 2015," per the NYT.
