Is Biden’s faltering campaign turning around? Joe is now closing the gap with Trump in states that will decide the nail-biting 2024 election, new polls show

Finally, there is some good news for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.

After months of polls showing Donald Trump with a small but steady lead over his Democratic rival, a poll released Tuesday suggests Biden is gathering support in the swing states that will decide the 2024 election.

It may not yet be enough to revise the presumptive Republican nominee’s overall advantage, but the Bloomberg/Morning Consult survey shows that Biden enjoyed a boost in his ratings after a State of the Union address that was generally good was received.

The shift was most notable in the Blue Wall states. In Wisconsin, Biden leads Trump by one point, having reversed last month’s four-point deficit.

In Pennsylvania, Trump’s six-point lead has been erased. The candidates are now tied after Trump held a six-point lead last month.

Trump maintains his overall lead over Biden in the seven swing states, but Biden is taking advantage of his advantage in six of them

They are also now tied in Michigan.

Doubts about Biden’s old age – he would be 86 at the end of a second term – and recent economic problems caused his re-election to get off to a faltering start.

Towards the end of last year, Trump opened up a narrow lead in hypothetical match-up polls.

But Biden campaign officials insisted it was too early to panic.

The latest poll surveyed 4,932 registered voters in seven swing states. The fieldwork was conducted after Biden followed his State of the Union address with a tour of swing states and stepped up his attacks on Trump.

It showed that plans to raise taxes on billionaires are popular with voters in the swing state. And the overall results show Biden chipping away at Trump’s lead in the states that matter most.

He closed his deficits in Arizona (to five points), Nevada (two points) and North Carolina (six points).

But Trump expanded his lead in the seventh state, Georgia (seven points).

And he has a lead in all seven states when the numbers are combined. He has 47 percent to Biden’s 43 percent, with a margin of error of one point.

President Joe Biden took a strong stance as he laid out his platform for the election during his State of the Union address to Congress earlier this month.

The poll also found that Biden voters were strongly motivated by the thought of Trump coming to power.

When asked whether their support for Trump or Biden was more of a vote for their chosen candidate or against the other candidate, a divide emerged.

Fewer than three in 10 Trump supporters said it was a vote against Biden. However, nearly half of Biden voters said it was a vote against Trump.

For example, in Wisconsin, where Biden is leading, six in 10 of his supporters said their vote was a vote against Trump.

“Negative energy motivates people,” says Eli Yokley, American political analyst for Morning Consult.

“And the people who support Joe Biden today are much more likely to express that negative energy that fueled his 2020 campaign.”

Fieldwork for the polls began on March 8, the day after the State of the Union. A quick poll for DailyMail.com with a panel of 60 voters found the address was generally positive.

And more than a third of voters said they had recently seen positive news about Biden, the highest level since polling began in October.

At the same time, 68 percent of registered voters in swing states said they supported higher taxes on billionaires and higher income taxes on people making more than $400,000 a year.

During the State of the Union, Biden proposed a 25 percent federal tax on billionaires, saying it would raise $500 billion. “Think of what that could mean for America,” he said.

On Tuesday, Biden and his vice president are due to be in North Carolina for a campaign event to promote their health care agenda.

It’s part of a recent acceleration of election-related travel, including fundraising trips to California and New York, as well as events to highlight various aspects of the campaign.
