Biden may be losing his favorability advantage over Trump, new polls suggest – By Rebecca Picciotto (CNBC) / March 4, 2024
- Four large, new national polls show former President Donald Trump leading President Joe Biden among registered vote
- The same polls show that Trump is also leading the 2024 popularity contest against Biden among voters, a signal that Biden has lost a key feature of his political persona: his likability advantage.
A flurry of new 2024 presidential election polls have a common thread: Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is leading incumbent President Joe Biden in a hypothetical November matchup.
In four separate surveys released over the weekend by The New York Times/Siena College, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and CBS News/YouGov, Trump’s lead ranged from two points to five points among registered voters.
The Fox News and Wall Street Journal surveys both showed Trump with a two point lead over Biden, 49-47 and 47-45, respectively. This was within their 2.5% margins of error.
In the CBS News/YouGov poll, Trump led by four points, 52-48, outside the poll’s 2.8% margin of error.
