New polling results show former President Donald Trump is leading in most battleground states, while President Joe Biden holds a lead on a national general election ballot.
With seven months to go until the presidential election, former President Donald Trump tops President Biden in all but one of the crucial battleground states that will likely decide their 2024 rematch, according to new polling. A Wall Street Journal survey released Tuesday indicated Trump with the edge over the president in six of the seven states polled: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina.
Biden narrowly edged Trump in all the battlegrounds tested, other than North Carolina, to win the White House four years ago. According to the survey, along with coming in second to Trump among most voters, Biden also had a negative job performance rating in all seven battleground states. On the flip side, voters in every state except Nevada had a favorable opinion of Trump's time in the White House.
When asked about specific issues, respondents said they trust Trump to handle the economy and immigration over Biden. The Democrat president, however, was the preferred candidate to deal with the issue of abortion. The polling results also mirror recent concerns over the president's physical fitness.
Among independent voters, however, Trump led Biden by 7 points, 52% to 45%. 'The presidential contest remains close, but there are some interesting twists which run counter to the conventional wisdom,' Lee M. Miringoff, Director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said alongside the polling results.
