New York Times poll shows Trump leading Biden in five of six swing states — Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — all of which Biden won in 2020.
Former President Donald Trump would easily beat Joe Biden with over 300 electoral votes in the 2024 election, according to a new swing state poll from The New York Times and Siena College.
The poll shows Trump leading Biden in five of six swing states — Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin —all of which Biden won in 2020.
From Axios:
Biden led Trump in Wisconsin but is down 4 points in Pennsylvania, 5 in Arizona, 6 in Georgia, 5 in Michigan, and 10 in Nevada.
71 percent said Biden was “too old,” including 54 percent of Biden’s supporters.
Only 39 percent of those voters felt the same about Trump, who would be the oldest president ever inaugurated and has shared no details about his health.
Swing state voters said they trust Trump over Biden on the economy by a 22-point margin, 59 to 37 percent.
Trump and Biden are effectively tied among voters under 30 — a large shift from 2020.
Now you know why they’re trying to keep him off the ballot. He’s going to win big. Don’t fall for the RFK Jr ticket either. He’s meant to split ticket and help Biden.

One of the biggest issues the electorate sees with Biden is his old age.
The vast majority of the electorate, 71%, said 80-year-old Biden is too old, including 54% of Democrats.
62% also say Biden lacks the “mental sharpness” to be an effective president.
Biden spokesman Kevin Munoz downplayed the poll’s findings.
“Predictions more than a year out tend to look a little different a year later. Don’t take our word for it: Gallup predicted an eight point loss for President Obama only for him to win handedly a year later,” he told Axios.
Perhaps these devastating numbers help explain why Democrats in states like Colorado, Minnesota and others are scrambling to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot citing the 14th Amendment.
Or why Trump faces over 700 years in prison from 91 state and federal charges in cases in Washington, D.C., Florida, Georgia and New York over the 2020 election, allegedly mishandling classified documents, and allegedly falsifying business records.
“Democrats don’t rig elections and try to throw their opponents in jail because they’re confident they’ll win. Democrats do these things because they know they’re going to lose, and to them destroying democracy is preferable to losing an election,” The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis wrote on X.
