About a year before the 2024 US presidential elections, the New York Times/Siena College poll reported that Trump’s votes are leading in the states that Biden won in the last elections: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona.
According to the poll conducted from October 22 to November 3, Trump, who was clearly leading the race among the Republican candidates, obtained a difference of 3 to 9 points in the aforementioned states.
According to the poll results, Trump outperformed Biden by 48 to 44 percent in Pennsylvania, 48 to 43 percent in Michigan, and 49 to 44 percent in Arizona.
In the 2020 presidential race, Trump outperformed Biden by 6 points (49 versus 43 percent), according to the results of the poll that included the state of Georgia, where he was accused of rigging the election results.
The state in which Donald Trump achieved the largest lead over President Biden was Nevada, where he received an additional 9 points of votes (52 versus 41 percent).
Among the states in question, Biden was only able to outperform Trump by two points (47 to 45 percent) in Wisconsin.
Participants are concerned about Biden’s age
While most American citizens who participated in the survey said they found the 77-year-old Trump mentally competent, they expressed “concern” about Biden’s advanced age.
About 71 percent of voters said they “somewhat agree” that Biden is “too old to be an effective president.”
Only 39% of voters said the same about Trump.
In addition, 52 percent of participants answered “yes” to the question of whether Trump has the “mental capacity to be an effective president,” while this rate remained at 35 percent for Biden on the same issue.
