Unless you are deeply immersed in politics, you likely missed a major development over the last three weeks: Since his State of the Union speech, President Joe Biden has seen a marked reversal of his fortunes. Indeed, since Biden addressed the nation in early March, polling shows that Biden is gaining ground, as former President Donald Trump now leads Biden by only one percentage point according to the RealClearPolitics polling average — Trump’s smallest lead since January. In the Quinnipiac poll released last week, Biden led by three points, 48 percent to 45 percent, bringing the total to 12 national...

The media coverage of polls that show President Biden lagging behind former President Trump appears to be getting under the president’s skin. While campaigning around the country, Biden has often complained to rooms full of donors about the coverage of polls, including how often the press focuses on only on low survey numbers while ignoring more favorable ones. The White House and the Biden campaign maintain that it’s too far out from Election Day to rely on polls, but the president has clearly shown he’s annoyed with how the press has handled surveys of voters.

Not all news in the polling world is bad for Biden. But most of it is, as in the new Harvard-Harris poll released today. The top-line of the poll isn't encouraging, but the "internals" of the poll are simply devastating. It's pretty clear that if voters felt better about the alternatives to Biden the president would be toast in this election. 🇺🇲 2024 GE: "If Trump is convicted of crimes related to his handling of classified presidential documents"🟥 Trump 54% (+8)🟦 Biden 46%—If Trump is convicted for inciting the Capitol riots of January 6th, who would you vote for?🟦 Biden...

President Biden has narrowly pulled ahead of former President Donald Trump in the key state of Wisconsin and is even with his predecessor in Pennsylvania and Michigan, according to a new 2024 election poll. Trump still leads Biden 47% to 43% across seven battleground states, per the March survey conducted by Bloomberg News/Morning Consult — but the Democrat is gaining ground against his presumptive Republican opponent for the first time in five months. Biden, 81, is backed by 46% of registered voters in Wisconsin while 45% support Trump, 77, in a head-to-head battle. Registered voters in Pennsylvania and Michigan broke...

President Joe Biden and Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) hold slight leads over former President Donald Trump and businessman Dave McCormick in general election match-ups in Pennsylvania, according to a poll. The Susquehanna Polling and Research poll, published Monday, found Biden with a five-point lead over Trump in a two-way presidential race. He registered 50 percent of support to Trump’s 45 percent.

Former President Donald Trump has opened up an 8 percentage-point lead over President Biden in the battleground state of Michigan, matching his largest margin in recent polling of the Mitten State. The CNN/SSRS survey published Friday showed the 45th president, 77, leading the 46th president, 81, by 50% to 42% among registered voters. The eight-point spread in favor of Trump matches a Detroit News poll of likely voters from early January that showed the former president leading Biden 47% to 39% among likely voters. In 2016, Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate in 28 years to win Michigan, before...

President Joe Biden’s average approval rating is well below the historic threshold for the incumbent to win reelection. RealClearPolitic’s average of Biden’s approval rating stands at 40.3 percent, while 56.3 percent disapprove of the president.

Former President Trump is on the road back to the White House as all polls point to his 2024 victory. According to a CNN electoral map, Trump can win the 2024 presidential election without securing enough votes for Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. Candidates need 270 electoral votes to win the presidential election. The map indicated that Trump would secure 272 votes, while President Joe Biden only secure 225. Despite CNN, a far-Left news outlet, undermining Trump’s ability to win the election, the outlet cannot deny that Biden is nowhere near having enough support to serve another four years in the...

President Biden’s much-hyped State of the Union address had little to no effect on his popularity among Americans, according to a pair of post-speech polls out this week. Only 37% of voters approved of Biden’s handling of the country in the aftermath of his address, according to a HarrisX State of the Union poll revealed Monday, while a USA Today/Suffolk survey published Wednesday showed 33% saying the speech positively impacted their view of the president. Among those surveyed in the HarrisX poll, a majority (64%) said Biden should not seek another term, while 61% said he did not adequately address...

Donald Trump has a higher approval rating among young adults than any other age demographic, according to a poll. A Harvard CAPS–Harris survey of more than 2,000 registered voters showed that 57 percent approved of the job the Republican did as president, with 41 percent saying they disapproved. When the results are broken down further, they show that almost two-thirds (64 percent) of voters in Generation Z—or those aged 18 to 24—approved of Trump's job as president. The age range of this demographic means some respondents were children during Trump's time in office, 2017 to 2021. However, the results could...

Former President Donald Trump is trouncing President Joe Biden in Maine, a Pan Atlantic Research survey found. Maine is different than the vast majority of states in awarding electoral votes, utilizing the congressional district method. Maine has two congressional districts and awards electoral votes to the popular winner across the state. However, it also awards electoral college votes to the popular vote winner in each district. Overall, the state has four electoral votes up for grabs, but it could, hypothetically, result in split electoral votes, given the way the state does this. The Pan Atlantic Research survey found Trump leading...

A new poll shows for the first time that a majority of Americans support building a wall along the US-Mexico border — while three-fifths of the country sees illegal immigration under President Biden as a “very serious” problem. The Monmouth University survey released Monday found 53% of respondents favor building a border barrier while 46% say they are opposed. By contrast, 60% of Americans told the same pollster in September 2017, months after former President Donald Trump took office, that they were opposed to a border wall and just 35% said they were in favor of construction. When the question...

A staggering 53% of Jewish voters in New York state plan on voting for former President Donald Trump in the November election, a new Siena College poll found. Just 44% of the Chosen People in the deep-blue state will back President Joe Biden in the race, according to the survey, which polled 65 Jews out of 806 total voters. The spike in New York Jewish voters backing Trump has come in the wake of the murderous Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, with antisemitic hate crimes and anti-Israel protests surging in New York City. President Biden, meanwhile, has lashed...

Monday poll found former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley losing to President Joe Biden in the red state of Texas, but indicated former President Donald Trump would handily win. Haley is down by nine points in a head-to-head matchup against the president

A new poll released by Quinnipiac has President Biden leading a head-to-head matchup with former President Donald Trump by four points. In the latest poll, Biden leads Trump, earning 49% of the hypothetical vote compared to 45% for Trump. The poll targeted 1,421 registered voters nationwide and had a margin of error at 2.6 percentage points, meaning that Biden's lead falls outside of the margin. When the poll added hypothetical third party candidates, Biden's lead fell to just one point, with the President earning 38 percent of the vote, compared to 37 percent for Trump and 15 percent for independent...
