According to a new Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey, former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is polling stronger than President Biden in key battleground states.
Biden is behind Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin —bad news for Uncle Joe. Trump is leading Biden 47% to 43%.
From Newsmax:
A majority of the battleground state voters also said the economy was better off under the Trump administration than it is under Biden, with 49% trusting the former on the issue rather than the latter at 35%.
In five of the seven individual swing states polled, Trump led Biden by anywhere from 1 point to 5 points, according to the survey. The two were tied in Michigan at 44%, and Biden beat Trump in Nevada 46% to 43%.
Trump won Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, but lost them all to Biden in 2020. In both elections, Trump secured North Carolina, while the Democratic nominee won Nevada.
Swing-state voters also trusted Trump more than Biden with handling key issues like immigration, crime, U.S.-China relations, guns, the Russia-Ukraine war, regulation of tech companies, housing, infrastructure and labor and unions, according to the survey. Biden led Trump on education and schools, Social Security and Medicare, democracy, health care, abortion and climate change.
If Bloomberg says Trump is up 4 pts in swing states it’s at least 6.
