USA. Elections 2024: Polls Show Biden 10 Points Behind Trump

The outlook for President Joe Biden is increasingly dire regarding the possible outcome of the American election scheduled for November 5, 2024. According to the latest public opinion poll conducted by the Washington Post – ABC News tandem, the current occupant of the White House is behind his main rival Donald Trump by as much as 10 points. More precisely, if the elections were held in September 2023, then 52% of American voters would vote for Trump, and Biden would manage to get no more than 42% of votes in his favor.

The poll results put the Biden administration in an awkward position, as all other similar polls so far have shown an even race. President Biden continues to lose ground rapidly, and polling reveals many troubling issues among voters unhappy with Biden’s handling of the economy and illegal immigration. A growing number of Americans claim that the USA is “spending too much on aid to Ukraine (more than $110 billion in aid has been given to Kiev to date),” not to mention widespread concern about his advanced age (80 years old).

The results of the growing popular discontent were not long in coming: more than three in every five Democratic voters plus so-called “democrat-oriented independents” said in the poll that they would “prefer a completely different candidate to the current president.”

As for lesser figures in the race for the White House, 8% of respondents pointed to Vice President Kamala Harris, another 8% would vote for Senator Bernie Sanders, and 20% said they would “simply prefer to see someone else.”

According to American media, Trump is currently in a very strong position at the national level, despite numerous lawsuits looming on the horizon. The former president has the support of 54% of Republicans and “independent voters who prefer Republicans,” and this figure is up an additional 3% from US polls in May.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ranks second among GOP candidates with 15% support, which is down 10% from May’s 25%. And to add insult to injury for Biden, Trump has also risen to the top of the Republican Party in particular states’ polls.
