Trump’s Triumph? Polls Indicate Lead Over Biden

AP Yonhap News Agency

In a poll conducted approximately six months before the U.S. presidential election, former President Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s leading candidate, appeared to be ahead of Democratic President Joe Biden by 6 percentage points in approval ratings.

In a poll conducted and released by CNN on the 28th (local time), 49% of respondents said they would vote for former President Trump in the November election, while 43% said they would back President Biden.

Trump’s approval rating remained unchanged from January, while Biden’s fell by 2 percentage points.
In a hypothetical face-off including three other presidential candidates, Trump was at 42%, while Biden fell further to 33%.

Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was at 16%, eating into the support for Trump and Biden. Additionally, independent Cornel West and Green Party’s Jill Stein garnered 4% and 3% respectively.
Despite legal risks, former President Trump’s favorability has increased, with 55% of respondents evaluating his first term as successful, outpacing the 44% who deemed it a failure.

On the other hand, 61% of respondents deemed President Biden’s performance a failure, which is 4 percentage points higher than in January 2022. The percentage of respondents who considered it successful was 39%.

Economic issues, rising inflation, and student loan forgiveness were analyzed as factors in such negative figures regarding Biden’s performance.

CNN‘s poll was conducted among 1,212 adults, including 967 registered voters in the U.S., in the middle of this month. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
