Joe Biden is beating Donald Trump ahead of November's presidential election, according to a new poll.

The survey from Echelon Insights, which was cofounded by former Republican digital strategist Patrick Ruffini and pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson, found that 49 percent of respondents would either definitely, probably or lean to voting for Biden, while 46 percent said they would opt for Trump.

The poll surveyed 1,020 likely voters and was conducted from April 12-14. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.9 percentage points.

Newsweek contacted representatives for Trump and Biden by email to comment on this story.
