A recent survey by the Wall Street Journal shows that Donald Trump is currently leading Joe Biden in 6 out of the 7 crucial states for the 2024 presidential elections in the United States. This lead is attributed to concerns about the economy and the age of the current president, with Trump holding a strong position in states that were key to the 2020 election results.
Former blue states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, which Biden won back in 2020, are now considered battleground states where Trump is leading. Polls show Trump with a slight advantage in Michigan and Pennsylvania, while maintaining a lead in Wisconsin. Additionally, Trump is leading in Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, states that were hotly contested in the previous election.
One major issue that favors Biden is the defense of abortion and reproductive rights, while Trump enjoys greater support on the economy, immigration, and fighting inflation. However, concerns about Israel’s actions in Gaza have become a significant factor in shaping the political landscape leading up to the 2024 elections. There are fears that protests against US support for Israel could impact both Biden’s re-election chances and Democratic candidates in Congress.
Democratic lawmakers are urging Biden to take a stronger stance against Israel’s actions in Gaza to avoid further political fallout. Despite this conflict being an important issue for many voters heading into election season, it remains unclear how it will impact voting outcomes across all seven crucial swing states.
