White House says Biden-Trump polls should be viewed with grain of salt

The White House urged caution on Tuesday at polls showing President Joe Biden lagging behind leading Republican candidate Donald Trump, urging people to view them with a grain of salt. A New York Times/Siena poll on Sunday showed Biden trailing Trump in five of six battleground states. "There's going to be a lot of polls out there," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters when asked about them.
