As the United States gears up for the 2024 presidential election, early polling data has revealed an intriguing development: former President Donald Trump is currently leading in five of the six most crucial battleground states, with only Wisconsin leaning towards the incumbent, Joe Biden.
These findings have significant implications for the upcoming election, as both parties strategize and prepare for what promises to be a highly competitive race. Although both Trump and Biden face primary challenges, both are high favored in their respective races and have significant leads.
According to new polls by The New York Times and Siena College, Trump has taken a lead in five out of the six pivotal battleground states that could significantly impact the 2024 election outcome. The states where Trump currently enjoys an advantage are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. The numbers reflect the continued popularity and influence of the former president within these key regions.
In contrast to Trump’s dominance in five battleground states, President Joe Biden maintains a lead only in Wisconsin, according to the same polling data.
The results show Mr. Biden losing to Mr. Trump, his likeliest Republican rival, by margins of three to 10 percentage points among registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Mr. Biden is ahead only in Wisconsin, by two percentage points, the poll found.
Across the six battlegrounds — all of which Mr. Biden carried in 2020 — the president trails by an average of 48 to 44 percent.
These early poll results, while not determinative of the final outcome, offer valuable insights into the political dynamics shaping the 2024 election. Trump’s strong showing in these five battleground states is indicative of his enduring appeal among certain demographics and his ability to maintain his influence within the Republican party.

For the Biden administration and the Democratic party, these findings signal his radical abortion agenda and the poor economy are significant problems for him to overcome.
Discontent pulsates throughout the Times/Siena poll, with a majority of voters saying Mr. Biden’s policies have personally hurt them. The survey also reveals the extent to which the multiracial and multigenerational coalition that elected Mr. Biden is fraying. Demographic groups that backed Mr. Biden by landslide margins in 2020 are now far more closely contested, as two-thirds of the electorate sees the country moving in the wrong direction.
Voters under 30 favor Mr. Biden by only a single percentage point, his lead among Hispanic voters is down to single digits and his advantage in urban areas is half of Mr. Trump’s edge in rural regions. And while women still favored Mr. Biden, men preferred Mr. Trump by twice as large a margin, reversing the gender advantage that had fueled so many Democratic gains in recent years.
Black voters — long a bulwark for Democrats and for Mr. Biden — are now registering 22 percent support in these states for Mr. Trump, a level unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times.
Add it all together, and Mr. Trump leads by 10 points in Nevada, six in Georgia, five in Arizona, five in Michigan and four in Pennsylvania. Mr. Biden held a 2-point edge in Wisconsin.
