CNN and the candidates have yet to announce the debate topics.
The latest polls by Times/Siena and The Philadelphia Inquirer show Donald Trump leading Joe Biden in five out of six crucial battleground states less than six months out from election day.
A New York Times poll indicates that Biden nonetheless remains within striking distance and has maintained most of his support among older and white voters.
