Support for the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2020 Presidential election Joe Biden has dropped in a new CNN poll and although the former Vice President still holds a lead over President Donald Trump, he’s nearing the 3.7 percentage point margin of error.

The Democratic National Convention is this week and that’s where Biden will accept his nomination for the 2020 ticket.

According to the poll, 50 percent of registered voters support a Biden-Harris ticket, while 46 percent say they support a Trump-Pence ticket. It’s a difference of 4 percentage points.

Among the 72 percent of voters who reported feeling “either extremely or very enthusiastic” about voting in the November election, support for Biden fell from 53 percent to 46 percent, the poll reveals.

“It is narrower, however, among those voters who live in the states that will have the most impact on the electoral college this fall,” CNN notes.

The CNN poll, conducted by SSRS, questioned 1,108 registered voters between August 12th and the 15th.

CNN’s Don Lemon cursed out those “moderates” such as Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) “who are blocking people’s access to the voting booth, they want to use Dr. King conveniently. They’re the biggest hypocrites on the planet.”

“If Sinema and Manchin really want to honor the legacy of Dr. King and all the people who fought for civil rights and voting rights in this country, what they would do is to carve out for voting rights with the filibuster” he continued.

“But for some reason they are stuck with these rules that are backwards…The filibuster has been used to block civil rights legislation forever and so we need to stop that. We evolved. Just because there is a rule doesn’t mean that that rule can’t change. The Constitution is amended. So it’s time to amend the rules. And fight and, and protect the most sacred right that we have as Americans, and that is the right to vote.”

Lemon then quotes Dr. Martin Luther King about a “white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice….who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.”

That sounds like the moderates, says Lemon, referring to Senators Manchin and Sinema. “And you’re supposed to be a Democrat who espouses to the ideals of Dr. King. That’s bull***t that’s B.S.”

"That’s bull … That’s BS. And you should be ashamed of yourself. You are a hypocrite." @donlemon unloads on lawmakers who want to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. while standing in the way of voting rights reform by opposing the filibuster. pic.twitter.com/UKX0tQGI2E
