Tight race between Trump and Biden For 2024 US Presidential Battle

The political landscape for the 2024 US presidential election is shaping up to be highly competitive, according to a recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

The poll, which surveyed registered voters, indicates a narrow lead for former President Donald Trump over current President Joe Biden, with Trump garnering 49% of the voter preference to Biden’s 45% in a hypothetical election matchup.

Voter Sentiment and Candidate Support

The survey highlights a challenging environment for President Biden, who is facing low approval ratings and a general sentiment among voters that the country is not on the right track. The poll also points to a decline in support for Biden among key demographic groups that were pivotal to his 2020 election victory, including young voters, independents, and voters of color.

Election Dynamics and Approval Ratings

In terms of voter commitment, the poll suggests limited potential for growth in support for either candidate. A majority of voters express a firm decision on their candidate preference, with minimal openness to changing their current stance. The poll also delves into the approval ratings of both Biden and Trump, revealing that a larger proportion of the public perceives Trump as having the stamina and sharpness to serve effectively as president compared to Biden.

Comparative Matchups and Party Primaries

Looking beyond the direct Trump-Biden comparison, the CNN poll examines other hypothetical matchups, including Biden against former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The results show varied levels of support for Biden against different Republican contenders. Within party primary scenarios, the poll indicates a strong lead for Trump among Republican-aligned voters and a significant advantage for Biden among Democratic-aligned voters.

Public Perception of Issues and Democracy

The poll also sheds light on the issues voters deem extremely important for the upcoming election, with the economy ranking high on the list. There are marked differences between Republican and Democratic voters on the importance of various issues. Additionally, the poll touches on the public’s view of American democracy, with a notable number of Americans believing it is under attack.
