FiveThirtyEight has been keeping track of polls on the two candidates since at least March, with Biden having been in the lead during that entire time period.

The 7.5 percentage point lead that Biden holds over Trump is not the highest he has had, as at various times in the summer, Biden has had a lead as high as 9.6 percentage points.
