Democrats also hold a favorability edge when it comes to the bottom half of the ticket.
The Fox News poll was conducted from Aug. 9 to 12 and over half the interviews were completed after Biden selected Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his vice presidential pick.
The poll finds 44 percent of voters view Harris favorably while 40 percent view her unfavorably. Vice President Mike Pence, on the other hand, is viewed favorably by 41 percent of voters and unfavorably by 51 percent.
A majority of voters, 54 percent, disapprove of Trump’s job as president. More voters trust Trump to handle Biden on the economy by a margin of 4 percentage points.
The race has tightened since June, when Fox News found Biden had a 12-point advantage over Trump, 50 percent to 38 percent.
The Fox News poll was conducted by phone Aug. 9-12 among 1,000 registered voters nationwide. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
