The Reuters/Ipsos poll, however, suggested Biden may not have lost ground since the debate, with both him and Trump maintaining the support of 40 percent of registered voters, Reuters reported.
When pollsters presented a series of names of top Democrats as potential replacements should Biden step aside, Vice President Harris fell behind Trump by 1 point, 42 percent support to 43 percent.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, another floated replacement, trailed Trump by 3 points, 39 percent support to 42 percent, while Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer fell behind Trump 36 percent support to 41 percent.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online July 1-2 and surveyed 1,070 U.S. adults nationwide.
