Economist Poll Indicates Trump’s Lead; Biden Faces Challenges for Reelection
According to a recent poll, former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in a head-to-head matchup for the 2024 presidential election, despite respondents stating a preference for the Democratic Party nominee. Trump tops Biden 44%-43% in the poll conducted by YouGov. He receives majority support among whites, those 65 years old and older, and rural Americans. The poll also reveals that a majority of American citizens do not want Biden to run again, including independents and a significant percentage of Democrats. Additionally, Biden is seen as weak and lacking care for the American people compared to Trump. Trump is also the favorite to be the Republican presidential nominee, leading other potential candidates such as Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Nikki Haley. The poll was conducted by The Economist/YouGov among 1,500 US adult citizens, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
