According to a recent CNN poll, former President Donald Trump is currently leading President Joe Biden by six points in the 2024 presidential race among registered voters. When factoring in third-party candidates, Trump’s lead extends to nine points, a trend that bodes well for his campaign.
In the head-to-head matchup, Trump maintains a consistent 49% support among registered voters, mirroring the findings of CNN’s previous national poll in January. Biden’s support stands at 43%, which is similar to the 45% recorded in January.
Interestingly, the perception of Trump’s presidency has shifted positively, with 55% of Americans now viewing it as a success, compared to 44% who consider it a failure. This marks a significant change from January 2021 when the majority perceived his tenure as a failure.
When considering independent candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Trump’s lead over Biden widens further. Trump garners 42% support in this scenario, with Biden at 33%, Kennedy at 16%, West at 4%, and Stein at 3%. Kennedy draws support from both Biden and Trump’s backers in the initial two-way matchup.
Assessing President Biden’s time in office, 61% of respondents view his presidency as a failure, while 39% see it as a success. These numbers represent a slight decline from January 2022, where 57% perceived his first year as a failure.
Although polling data can be subject to fluctuation and interpretation, these findings suggest a potential resurgence in Trump’s campaign momentum.
In parallel, a Bloomberg/Morning Consult swing state poll this week indicated that Trump holds a lead over Biden in seven crucial swing states, with Biden maintaining a slim two-point advantage in Michigan. These insights highlight the evolving landscape of the 2024 presidential race as it unfolds.
