New Polls Show Former President Trump Leading President Biden in Five Key Battleground States

Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden in five key battleground states - Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, and Nevada - according to recent polls by The New York Times/Siena College and The Philadelphia Inquirer. These polls were conducted among registered voters from April 28 to May 9.

Trump's lead is largely due to gains among young, Black, and Hispanic voters in these states. For instance, in Michigan, Biden leads Trump among likely voters but trails behind him among registered voters. However, Trump leads both groups in Georgia, Nevada, Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Biden currently leads Trump among registered voters in Wisconsin but trails behind him among likely voters there. In contrast, Trump holds a significant lead over Biden among both groups in Wisconsin.

The polls also indicate that Democratic candidates are leading in all four Senate races surveyed: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada.

It is important to note that these polls have a margin of error ranging from 1.8 percentage points for the total sample to 4.6 percentage points for Georgia.

The Biden team believes the battle for re-election runs through six states won narrowly in 2020, including North Carolina and possibly Florida. The Trump team, on the other hand, believes that Biden is unlikely to win back Sun Belt states like Arizona, Nevada and Georgia. A new Trump campaign memo argues that Minnesota and Virginia are now in play.

These polls suggest that young voters and nonwhite voters express discontent with President Biden's handling of the economy and the war in Gaza, which could potentially impact his re-election prospects.
