Joe Biden is in a shocking matchup that he never thought he’d have again.
And the polls aren’t giving him the results he wants.
These four polls crushed Joe Biden when he saw how badly he’s doing against Trump.
Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee in 2024, has a steady lead over Joe Biden according to numerous recent polls.
The New York Times to the Wall Street Journal, CBS News and Fox News all released polls which show Trump ahead of Biden.
A CBS News/YouGov poll released on Sunday found Trump leading President Biden by four points nationally.
CBS noted on Sunday this was because, “Voters recall the economy under Trump more fondly than they rate the economy now” and that “Biden’s polling deficits come from his own Democratic base being relatively more critical of him.”
Among independents, the CBS News poll found Trump at 57 percent and Biden at 42 percent.
In addition to the CBS poll, Trump is also leading in the Fox News poll, which was released on Sunday as well. The poll gives the Republican frontrunner a 2-point advantage over Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup.
“Trump’s advantage comes from record or near-record support among key Democratic groups, while maintaining strong support among his own constituencies,” Fox News’ Victoria Balara wrote in a piece revealing the poll results. “For instance, 28% of Black voters support Trump in the head-to-head against Biden, 7 times as many as supported him four years ago (4% in February 2020). In addition, Trump has significant support among voters under age 30 (51%) and Democrats (8%), with near-record support among Hispanics (48%) and suburban women (43%).”
The Fox News poll also found some very alarming numbers for Biden when it comes to the border and immigration.
“Almost 8 in 10 voters say the situation at the southern border is either a major problem (37%) or an emergency (41%) and that Congress deserves a great deal (52%) or some (29%) of the blame for no action,” Balara wrote. “Fewer, though still 7 in 10, say the Biden administration’s lack of enforcement is the cause for the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border (47% a great deal, 25% some).”
A Wall Street Journal poll conducted by Fabrizio Lee also released on Sunday found Trump leading Biden in the head-to-head matchup 47 percent to 45 percent.
While the New York Times poll, released Saturday, found that Trump is leading Biden by 5 points, 48 percent to 43 percent, the Times survey also showed that Trump is attracting voters from demographics that traditionally voted Democrat.
