A recent poll by Bloomberg/Morning Consult, it’s revealed that Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, is ahead of President Joe Biden by 5 points in crucial swing states. The battlegrounds in question are Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina, with the latter two showcasing leads beyond the margin of error, as reported by Newsmax on December 14, 2023.
This marks the first time that Biden has fallen behind Trump in a head-to-head comparison across all seven swing states, a significant shift according to the poll.
In the key battlegrounds, Trump secures a 47% to 42% lead over Biden, solidifying his position as a strong contender for the presidency.
The poll underscores the significance of the economy as a determining factor for voters. According to Bloomberg’s poll, voters trust Trump more than Biden on various economic issues such as housing, interest rates, inflation, and balancing the U.S. budget.
Trump’s campaign wasted no time capitalizing on the positive results, sending out an email blast to highlight the favorable outcome. Meanwhile, the Biden campaign downplayed the poll, focusing on their goal of earning votes and emphasizing the contrast between their agenda and what they term the “extreme MAGA agenda.”
Trump’s lead is most noticeable in North Carolina, where he leads 49% to 40%, and in Georgia, with a 49% to 43% advantage over Biden. The narrowest margin is seen in Pennsylvania, where Trump leads 46% to 44%.
The breakdown in other swing states is as follows:
– Arizona: Trump 46%, Biden 42%
– Michigan: Trump 46%, Biden 42%
– Nevada: Trump 47%, Biden 44%
– Wisconsin: Trump 45%, Biden 41%
The Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll surveyed 4,935 registered voters from November 27 to December 6, with a margin of error ranging from plus or minus 1 percentage point to 5 percentage points across the seven states. As the political landscape evolves, these poll results provide a crucial indicator of the dynamics shaping the upcoming presidential race, setting the stage for a closely watched and fiercely contested campaign in the months ahead.
