Trump leads Biden in 6 crucial swing states as voters cite prez’s mental fitness as top concern: poll
The New York Post ^ | 04/03/2024 | Josh Christenson

Former President Donald Trump is beating President Biden in six of the seven key swing states for the 2024 election, according to a new poll, with voters raising concerns about the 81-year-old incumbent’s mental fitness and his handling of the economy and immigration issues.

A Wall Street Journal survey released Wednesday found Trump, 77, is leading in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia by between one and three percentage points and in North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada by at or more than the poll’s four-point margin of error.

Biden, 81, and the former president are also tied in a head-to-head matchup in the blue wall state of Wisconsin, but the Democrat holds a three-point lead when adding in candidates from outside both of the major parties.

With the exception of North Carolina, the six states polled handed Biden his victory over Trump four years ago, driven in large part by a coalition of black, Hispanic and young voters.

That coalition is now flagging, with just 68% of black voters, 50% of voters under the age of 30 and 48% of Hispanic voters supporting the president for another term.

According to AP VoteCast, Biden won black voters in 2020 by 91 percentage points, Hispanic voters by 63 points and voters under 30 by 61 points. ***

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the only independent candidate registering double-digit support in some of the states, announced Monday that his campaign had qualified for the ballot in North Carolina, while the Green Party has secured a place on 2024 ballots in Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Arizona.

The poll found that one-quarter of voters in the swing states support independent or third-party candidates or remain undecided on their general election candidate.

KEYWORDS: biden; poll; polls; trump
Three takeaways

1) Trump’s lead in three of the swing states is within the margin of error.

2) Biden’s support among black, Hispanic,and younger voters is slipping. The media and the deep state will do anything and everything to paint Trump as a racist. Perhaps Trump in Klan robes or wearing a gestapo uniform?

3) 25% of the voters in swing states support a third party candidate or are undecided. The Democrats will do anything and everything to keep RFK Jr off of the ballot in the name of “protecting democracy.”

Mental fitness as top concern? It’s a concern, but I can think of at least five issues with the country that are more pressing.

The real danger is if they replace Biden as the candidate.
People are idiots and will rush to support the new Democrat.
Even though the policies will be as bad or worse.

A month or so before the election, Biden will probably have an “issue” and step aside for Big Mike or Gruesom.

Trump is still leading and has been consistently since about September, BUT... Biden has gained a little ground and has shrunk the gap a little since the end of the primaries and/or the state of the union.

My guess is some Democrats returned home to him which was to be expected. This election will be close but luckily Trump is still ahead which is way different than their last match-up where he was down significantly from the start.

different polls say different things, keep your eye on the averages of all polls, especially the averages in the real swing states of Penn, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada

Agreed

The whimsy and ephemerality of “steadfast” beliefs.

The media lives off of unresolved conflicts and advertising dollars.

I thought Biden is sharp, spry and vigorous.

At this point, the only way to replace Biden as Democrat nominee is for him to resign from the Presidency, in which case Harris would be sworn in as POTUS, along with a VP.

As the incumbent, it would be fairly routine for her and her VP to inherit Biden’s role as Democrat nominee.

That way, whoever controls the Democrat party could force Harris to pick Michele Obama or Gavin Newsom as VP and later force Harris to resign.
