As the United States gears up for the 2024 election, Democratic President Joe Biden lags behind Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in five of the six pivotal battleground states, according to polls conducted by the New York Times and Siena College. These findings from the swing states come amid growing concerns about Biden’s age and dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy.
Poll: Biden lags behind Trump
Exactly one year before the election, the polls deliver a striking verdict: Trump, who is vying for his party’s 2024 nomination in a bid to reclaim the presidency, currently holds the lead in five critical states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Biden maintains an edge in Wisconsin, the sole state where he leads, as a stark contrast to the outcome in 2020 when Biden clinched victory in all six states.
2024 Election is a fierce battle
In a stunning reversal of fortunes, Trump has surged to an average lead of 48% to 44% in these battleground states, marking a shift from the 2020 results. These findings indicate that the 2024 election is poised to be a fierce and closely contested battle.
While national popular vote polls have consistently depicted a neck-and-neck race between Biden and Trump, the ultimate outcome of presidential elections hinges on the results in a select group of swing states. Biden’s victories in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, all of which Trump had carried in 2016, were pivotal in securing his triumph in 2020.
Biden vs. Trump: Highly Competitive Showdown
As the electoral countdown begins, the question looms: Can Biden secure these critical states once again to clinch re-election, or will Trump’s resurgence in these battlegrounds pave the way for his return to the White House? With the nation’s political landscape poised for another seismic shift, the 2024 election is a closely watched and highly competitive showdown.
