According to a recent national poll conducted by CNN, former President Donald Trump is currently leading President Joe Biden by a margin of six percentage points. The poll reveals that nearly half of the voters are inclined to support Trump in the upcoming election.
According to the survey released on Sunday, 49% of the respondents expressed their intention to vote for Trump in the upcoming 2024 election, while Biden received support from 43% of the respondents. This shows that Trump’s support has remained stable since CNN’s last poll in January, whereas Biden’s support has slightly decreased by two percentage points from 45%. In a five-way matchup including Trump, Biden, Independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornell West, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Biden’s performance does not improve significantly.
