Biden trails Trump in seven battleground states, dire poll shows

Nearly 5,000 voters in seven swing states all prefer Donald Trump to President Joe Biden, according to a damning new survey that shows the ex-president could again flip states that went against him in 2020. On average, 47 percent of voters in the battlefield states would do so. would vote for Trump if a general election were held against Biden today, compared to 42 percent support for the president, according to a Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll released Thursday.

Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Nevada were included in the poll, which has only a 1 percentage point margin of error when all seven states are taken into account. While the swing states are vastly different — in class, racial demographics and political preferences — they have one thing in common heading into the next presidential election: They all favor Trump over Biden.

The survey also shows that young voters are so far unimpressed with Biden's handling of student loans after promising to achieve widespread forgiveness. This could affect his chances in 2024 as more Gen Zers reach voting age. Forty-three percent of voters who make up Generation Z and live in the seven swing states surveyed say Biden has done “too little” when it comes to wiping out student loan debt.

Unsurprisingly, North Carolina has the widest gap if Trump faces Biden, with 9 percent more favoring the ex-president. The southern state voted red in both 2016 and 2020. But Georgia, which favored Biden in 2016 and Trump in 2016, has the second-largest margin at 49-43 percent saying they would choose to vote for the former president if he woke up . for a rematch against his successor.

Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin also went from red to blue between the last two presidential elections. Polls now show that they want to vote more Republican in 2024. Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin all have four-point margins between those who prefer Trump over Biden. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania has only a 2 percent difference.

Nevada, a Democratic-leaning swing state, voted blue in 2016 and 2020. But now the early primary state is in the polls, with 47 percent saying they would vote for Trump and 44 percent saying they would vote for Biden. A total of 4,935 voters were surveyed from November 27 to December 6, and 42 percent say they would vote for Biden if an election with Trump were held today, compared to 47 percent who said they would vote the opposite way.

When all seven states are taken into account, 58 percent say they have an unfavorable view of Biden, while 53 percent say they feel the same about Trump. On almost every issue, including the economy, voters trust the former president more than the incumbent, even as Biden touts his “Bidenomics” plan as a savior for the U.S. economy.

As part of his efforts to provide financial relief to Americans, Biden has repeatedly tried to push through widespread student loan relief, but has been unsuccessful. Some of his proposals have been rejected even at the Supreme Court level.
