The CNN poll conducted by SSRS reveals that despite his ongoing legal issues, Donald Trump maintains a lead over Biden nationally. In a head-to-head race, Trump leads Biden 49-43, widening to 42-33 when third-party candidates are factored in. Most Americans view Trump’s presidency favorably and consider it a success, whereas a majority perceives Biden’s tenure as a failure.
Trump continues to enjoy strong support among registered voters, holding steady at 49% against Biden’s 43%. The poll indicates that 55% of Americans view Trump’s presidency as successful, in contrast to only 39% who believe the same about Biden’s presidency. Moreover, Republicans are more united in their positive assessment of Trump compared to Democrats’ views on Biden’s presidency.
The economy emerges as a pivotal issue, with only 34% approving of Biden’s economic management and an even lower 29% approving of his handling of inflation. A significant majority, 70%, of Americans rate the current economy as poor. CNN highlights that voters who prioritize the economy tend to favor Trump over Biden by a considerable margin.
Biden’s confidence may be short-lived as Trump maintains an edge in the polls, driven by widespread approval of his presidency and dissatisfaction with Biden’s performance. The economy stands out as a critical factor influencing voters’ preferences, with Trump holding a significant advantage over Biden on this issue.
