Former President Donald Trump has surged ahead of President Joe Biden in seven key swing states that could determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, according to a new Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll. The poll found that Trump is leading Biden by 48% to 44% across the seven states, which include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These are all states that Biden won in the 2020 election.
The poll also found that Trump is leading Biden in each of the individual states, including those that Biden won by narrow margins in 2020. In Arizona, Trump leads Biden by 49% to 44%. In Georgia, Trump leads Biden by 47% to 44%. In Pennsylvania, Trump leads Biden by 48% to 46%. In Wisconsin, Trump leads Biden by 47% to 46%. In North Carolina, Trump leads Biden by 49% to 42%. In Nevada, Trump and Biden are tied at 47%. Biden leads Trump in Michigan by 46% to 45%, but this lead is within the margin of error.
These results come as Trump faces a hush money trial in New York City. The trial has been ongoing for several weeks, and Trump has spent much of his time defending himself in court. It is unclear how the trial will impact Trump’s presidential campaign, but the poll results suggest that he remains a strong contender for the Republican nomination.
