Despite President Biden’s strong handling of the current crisis in Israel, a recent survey from Bloomberg News/Morning Consult predicts a challenging path to the 2024 election for him.
The poll reveals that in a hypothetical head-to-head contest in crucial swing states, Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump. Trump is shown as the winner in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, all of which are pivotal battleground states.
Trump’s 47% to 43% lead represents a remarkable 8-point shift in his favor over the last four months, which is quite surprising considering he has faced four indictments and is currently dealing with 91 criminal charges. Trump maintains his innocence and alleges that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has been weaponized by the Biden administration, accusing it of exhibiting significant political bias in his prosecution.
Polling data seems to suggest that, on this particular issue, American sentiment leans in favor of Trump.
According to The Daily Caller, Trump is currently leading over Biden in five of the seven pivotal swing states. The survey indicated that Biden held a slight edge over Trump in Nevada and was virtually tied with him in Michigan.
It’s worth noting that in the 2020 election, Trump lost to Biden in Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
Additionally, the poll revealed that Trump received higher approval ratings than Biden on topics such as China-U.S. relations, gun control, Russia/Ukraine, housing, Big Tech, censorship, labor unions, and national security and infrastructure. On the other hand, Biden led Trump in the areas of education, Social Security, Medicare, healthcare, abortion, and climate change.
