ABC/538: Trump is leading the polls, but there’s plenty of time for Biden to catch up
If the 2024 general election were held tomorrow, President Joe Biden would probably lose to former President Donald Trump. That’s because, by 538’s averaging, Biden trails in every major swing state – not to mention in national polls, too. Things only get worse for him the closer you look: The incumbent president is currently viewed more unfavorably than his predecessor, for instance, and polls show few voters are giving Biden credit for an improving economy. They trust Trump more to handle several issues Americans rate as the most important to their vote, including immigration, jobs/the economy and foreign policy. Voters are likelier to say conditions were better under the previous president and that the current executive has made their lives worse.
