President Joe Biden trails former President Donald Trump in six of the seven battleground states, new polls show This is evident from the Wall Street Journal.
The survey data, released Tuesday evening, shows Trump leading Biden in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
The two men are linked in Wisconsin, where Trump held a rally Tuesday night, with only Trump and Biden on the ballot. Biden leads Trump in Wisconsin when third-party candidates are taken into account.
Biden’s biggest deficit is in North Carolina, a state that Trump narrowly won in 2020 and which has a strong gubernatorial race that could make November’s outcome a nail-biter.
And the president’s age continues to drag down his poll numbers — with just 28 percent of swing state voters saying they believe the 81-year-old Biden is in better physical and mental condition to run the White House.
