Political pundits are buzzing as a new national poll has shown former President Donald Trump taking a sizable lead over current President Joe Biden. The poll comes from the highly regarded Ann Selzer and Grinnell College, and it indicates that Trump is ahead of Biden by a whopping seven points! This is a significant lead that cannot be brushed off, especially among independent voters, where Trump is leading by a staggering 16 percentage points. It’s no surprise, given that Biden’s approval rating among independent voters is at a dismal 22%.

What’s truly fascinating is that voters are now viewing Trump’s job performance more favorably than when he was in office. They’re seemingly yearning for the days of Trump’s leadership as they witness the chaos of Biden’s governance. In fact, a Real Clear Politics average of polls shows Trump currently ahead in the aggregate, and new data from key battleground states also point to a Trump lead. For instance, in Georgia, Trump is leading Biden by a significant margin, at 51% to 47%.
The same trend is visible in other crucial states, like North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada, where Trump is maintaining or increasing his lead over Biden. With numbers like these, it’s no wonder that Biden is reportedly fuming behind the scenes, as he sees his support waning in critical areas.
The Democrats’ hope to frame the election as a referendum on the challenger rather than the incumbent is already being put to the test. Their attempts to downplay Biden’s weaknesses and shift the focus onto his opponents are becoming increasingly futile in the face of these eye-opening poll results.
As the 2024 presidential race heats up, it’s becoming clear that Trump’s popularity is resurging while Biden’s support is dwindling. With the election drawing nearer, it will be interesting to see how these developments affect the strategies of both parties. Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping political showdown!
