Hey OnPolitics readers! Six months before Election DayPresident Joe Biden and  former President Donald Trump are tied 37%-37% in an exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll as millions of Americans' votes remain up for grabs.

The new survey provides a road map of the persuadables most open to appeals in a campaign being shaped by sharp divides on abortion and  immigration as well as an unprecedented criminal trial of a former president, now underway in New York, USA TODAY's Susan Page, Rachel Barber and your OnPolitics author reported.

⬆️ Biden has improved his standing with Independents, Black voters: Among independents, Biden has gained 5 points and Trump has lost 4 since a USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll taken in January. Among Black voters, Biden has gained 7 points while Trump's standing hasn't changed.

📢 White House attempts to appeal to young voters: The White House has recently announced policy decisions and aired political ads that have particular appeal to some younger swing voters, including moving to ease federal regulation of marijuana and relieve some college student debt.

What about the 'double haters'?  Eight percent are now supporting independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  and an additional 5% backing other third-party contenders. Most of their supporters acknowledge they might switch their allegiances before they cast a ballot.
