According to recent polls from The Wall Street Journal, former President Donald J. Trump is still leading President Biden in key battleground states that could determine the outcome of the presidency. Trump holds a narrow lead in six states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, while Biden leads in Wisconsin. These findings align with other recent surveys, such as the New York Times/Siena College polls conducted last October.
Despite expectations for a potential Biden comeback, the polls suggest that voters have a negative impression of his job performance, stamina, and economic management compared to Trump. While consumer confidence is on the rise and a Biden-Trump rematch is inevitable, Trump maintains an advantage over Biden on most issues.
The only areas where Biden outperforms Trump are on the topics of abortion and democracy. Overall, the polls indicate a challenging road ahead for the Biden campaign as they strive to improve public perception and garner support in key battleground states.
