President Joe Biden trails former President Donald Trump in six of seven battleground states, according to a new poll. The Wall Street Journal shows.
The poll data, released Tuesday night, shows Trump ahead of Biden in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
The two men are tied in Wisconsin, where Trump held a rally Tuesday night, when only Trump and Biden were on the ballot. Biden leads Trump in Wisconsin when third-party candidates are taken into account.
Biden’s biggest deficit is in North Carolina, a state that Trump narrowly won in 2020 and that has a powerful gubernatorial race that could make the November outcome exciting.
And the president’s age continues to drag down his poll numbers: Only 28 percent of voters in swing states said they believed Biden, 81, was better physically and mentally suited to run the White House. .
Wall Street Journal polls showed bad news for President Joe Biden, as he trailed former President Donald Trump in six of seven battleground states.
Forty-eight percent of respondents said the 77-year-old Trump.
Another 20 percent of voters answered “none.”
In general, both presidential candidates are very unpopular.
Across all swing states, more than 40 percent of the electorate said they had a “very unfavorable view” of Trump and Biden.
Among third-party candidates, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy is attracting the most support: between 7 and 15 percent in the seven battleground states.
Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaccine, does better in Nevada, where he gets 15 percent of the vote, compared to 37 percent for Trump and 33 percent for Biden.
RFK Jr. devours only 7 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania, where Trump leads Biden 41 percent to 38 percent.
In a two-person race, Trump is also ahead of Biden by three points (47 percent to 44 percent) in Pennsylvania, the state where the president was born.
