 But the reality is that even that is not comparable because Hubert Humphrey was not the sitting president of the United States at the time. The sitting president had already declared he wasn't running for reelection. Not only that, Joe Biden isn't just the sitting president. This race is still somewhat tight. Now, make no mistake, Donald Trump is starting to pull away in the aftermath of this debate. According to a new CNN poll, Donald Trump is now leading Joe Biden nationally by six points. Now, that is the same as the results CNN had back in April.
