Despite being indicted for the fourth time last week, President Donald Trump has gained ground in a head-to-head matchup with President Joe Biden. In a new Emerson Poll, Trump now leads by by two points, 46%-44%. In their last poll, Trump and Biden were tied.
In a hypothetical matchup between Trump and Biden, 46% would vote for Trump and 44% Biden. Ten percent are undecided. With Green Party candidate Cornel West added to the ballot test, 44% support Trump, 39% Biden, 4% West, and 13% are undecided.
“Despite losing ground in the Republican Primary, support for Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup against Joe Biden increased two points since last week’s poll,” Kimball said. “Cornel West continues to draw support from 7% of independents, 8% from Black voters, and 7% from Hispanics, key demographics that drove Biden’s 2020 victory.”
Regardless of which candidate voters support, 39% expect Biden to be president after the 2024 election, while 37% expect Donald Trump to be president. A quarter of voters (25%) expect someone else to be president. . . . .
