Biden Takes Lead Over Trump in Recent Polls Amid Manhattan Trials

Former President Donald Trump’s early lead over President Joe Biden has dwindled in the past two months due to his ongoing trials in Manhattan. Several recent polls indicate that Biden would prevail over Trump in a November election. A Marist poll shows Biden leading 51% to 48% in a two-way race, and his lead widens to five points with the inclusion of third-party candidates. NBC and Morning Consult polls also show Biden with a narrow lead over Trump. Biden’s campaign schedule and fundraising efforts have contributed to his polling boost, while Trump has been preoccupied with his legal cases and has held fewer public events.

RFK Jr. emerges as potential spoiler in 2020 presidential race

A recent poll from NBC News indicates that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) could pose a significant threat to Donald Trump, potentially more so than to President Joe Biden. In a head-to-head matchup, Trump leads Biden by a narrow margin of 2 percentage points (46% to 44%). However, when the ballot expands to include five candidates, Biden gains a slight advantage with 39% of the vote, followed by Trump with 37% and RFK Jr. with a surprising 13%. Notably, 15% of voters who initially supported Trump in the head-to-head matchup shifted their allegiance to RFK Jr. in the expanded ballot.
