According to a recent poll conducted by USA TODAY and Suffolk University, former President Donald Trump has a slight lead over President Joe Biden in six key swing states. The poll also revealed that a significant number of voters in these states are undecided, indicating uncertainty about their preferred candidate. Concerns about Biden’s job performance and his handling of the economy are contributing to voter dissatisfaction, leading to Trump’s lead in the polls.
In addition to this exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll, a Wall Street Journal poll shows that Trump is leading Biden in several states with varying margins. In a test ballot including Independent and third-party candidates, Trump maintained a similar lead in these states except for Wisconsin where Biden leads by three points. The Wall Street Journal poll was conducted among 600 registered voters in each state with a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.
The survey results show that more voters disapprove than approve of Biden’s job performance by significant margins in all seven states surveyed. On the other hand, more voters approved of Trump’s job performance during his time in office in several key battleground states such as Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Biden’s handling of the economy is cited as a key issue with more voters believing that Trump is better equipped to address concerns like inflation and rising costs.
Furthermore, additional polls have also shown close competition between Trump and Biden. For instance, the USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll shows that Trump edged out Biden with a 40%-38% lead. These results suggest that the upcoming 2024 election will be closely contested as both candidates vie for voter support.
Overall, it seems that there is still some uncertainty surrounding which candidate will come out on top when it comes to winning over swing state voters for the upcoming 2024 election.
