So Much For the SOTU Polling Bump

President Joe Biden did not experience a polling bump in the wake of his State of the Union address on which Democrats heaped praise, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Biden was statistically tied with former president Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup between the two major-party presidential nominees in a YouGov poll from January. Biden took 44 percent of the vote while Trump took 45 percent. The two remained statistically tied in a Tuesday poll from the same organization, with Biden taking 44 percent and Trump taking 46 percent. The gaps in both polls were within the margin of error.

This is true on a broader basis than just the YouGov poll, which is traditionally a little friendlier to Democrats anyway. This is the fourth national poll released since the SOTU, according to both 538 and RCP, and Trump leads in all of them. These are all RV polls too, which should be friendlier to Biden as well. Biden didn't even get a favorability boost.
