Trump leads Biden in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan according to poll

A recent poll conducted by the New York Times/Siena College has revealed some surprising results regarding the upcoming presidential election. Former president Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in five out of the six major swing states that Biden won in the 2020 election.

The poll showed that Trump is ahead of Biden by three points in Pennsylvania, three points in Michigan, seven points in Arizona, 10 points in Georgia, and a significant 12 points in Nevada. Biden only manages to beat Trump by two points in Wisconsin, the only state where he is ahead. This is a significant shift from the 2020 election results where Biden won all six states.

The survey also indicated that there is a tighter race among likely voters, with Biden narrowly winning Michigan but losing Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The economy emerged as a key issue for voters, with 21 percent listing it as their biggest concern. Interestingly, 58 percent of voters trust Trump more with the economy compared to 36 percent who trust Biden.

Moreover, voter dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of the conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to 50 percent of voters trusting Trump more on this issue. Additionally, immigration and abortion were highlighted as major concerns among voters.

Despite these findings, Biden continues to face low approval ratings, with only 36 percent of voters approving of his performance. Particularly concerning for Biden is his lack of support among young voters, with 65 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds disapproving of him. Trump’s outreach to Black voters, who largely supported Biden in 2020, is also gaining traction, with only 53 percent of Black voters approving of Biden.

As the election approaches, these poll results indicate a challenging road ahead for President Biden as he seeks to secure a second term in office.
