According to new polls from Emerson College Polling/The Hill, former President Donald Trump is currently leading President Joe Biden in seven battleground states.
Newsmax reported, citing the survey findings, that Trump holds a narrow advantage over Biden in seven swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These states are nearly all within the margin of error.
In North Carolina, Trump leads Biden by 5 percentage points, with 47% of support to Biden’s 42%. In Arizona, Trump leads by 4 points, with 48% against the Democrat incumbent’s 44%.
The likely GOP nominee is leading by 3 points in Georgia, with 47% to Biden’s 44%, and by 2 points in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where he has 47% to Biden’s 45% in each.
Trump leads by 1 point in Michigan and Nevada, with 45% to Biden’s 44% in each state, according to the poll.
“The state of the presidential election in swing states has remained relatively consistent since Emerson and The Hill started tracking them last November,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, told The Hill.
“The share of undecided voters has reduced and Biden gained ground in Georgia and Nevada, narrowing the gap, while Trump has maintained a slight edge on Biden in the swing states,” he added.
Trump’s lead widens when undecided voters are asked to choose which candidate they’re leaning toward, with the surveys finding a 4-point advantage in Michigan, Arizona, and North Carolina, and a 3-point advantage in both Wisconsin and Georgia.
When the independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is added as a choice, Trump’s lead increases to 9 points in North Carolina, 6 points in Georgia, 5 points in both Wisconsin and Nevada, and 4 points in Pennsylvania. In Arizona and Michigan, his margins of victory would remain the same.
Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have passed the delegate threshold to become their respective party nominees. As a result, they are on track to compete against each other once again in the upcoming November election. Both candidates have been spending time in battleground states, as polls indicate that the race for the White House will be determined by roughly half a dozen states, Newsmax added.
