The final IBD/TIPP poll released Tuesday morning shows former Vice President Joe Biden holding a modest lead over President Donald Trump in the national vote. 

The poll has Biden leading by 4 percent after showing a 3 percent lead on Monday. The RealClearPolitics average has Biden leading by 7 percent nationally as of Tuesday morning.

Of the seven national polls released Monday, six had Biden leading by margins ranging from 7 percent to 11 percent. One poll by Rasmussen Reports had Biden leading by only 1 percent. Raghavan Mayur, president and founder of TechnoMetrica, which runs the IBD/TIPP poll, said the 4 percent Biden lead in his poll leaves no room for certainty on who wins the electoral college.

“With the margin we are showing, Trump can still win,” Mayur told the Daily Caller. “Most of the lead Biden has is coming from blue states.” 

The IBD/TIPP poll has predicted the winner of the past four presidential elections. It was one of only two polls to have Trump win in 2016, predicting him to win the popular vote by 2 percent. 

Mayur told the Daily Caller that Trump would have to perform “spectacularly” in battleground states to win the electoral college. The key to this, he said, is a strong performance among African American and Hispanic voters. The IBD/TIPP poll released Tuesday shows Trump with a slight lead over Biden among Hispanics and doubling his 2016 support among African Americans to 16 percent. 

The key to a Biden lead, according to Mayur, is his performance with senior citizens, independents, and suburban voters. Trump won these demographics in 2016 but is now losing them to Biden in the IBD/TIPP poll. (RELATED: Editor Daily Rundown: It’s Election Day — What Are The Biggest Races, When Can We Expect Results)

The IBD/TIPP poll has a margin of error of 3.2 percent. 

FiveThirtyEight rates IBD/TIPP an A/B with a 0.8% Republican bias. The polling analysis website, run by Nate Silver, has Biden winning 89 percent of its final election forecasts.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
