First Read says there are two ways to look at the latest general-election numbers between President Trump and likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden:

Way #1: “With his approval rating inching up in the past couple of weeks, Trump is closing the gap with Biden (the president trails Biden by 2 points among registered voters in the WaPo/ABC poll, though his deficit is 9 points in Fox News’s survey).”

Way #2: “Despite the country rallying around Trump — at least more than at any time since his inauguration — he’s still trailing Biden between 2 and 9 points, especially at a time when Biden’s profile has moved to the back burner during this coronavirus crisis.”
