A recent AARP poll found former President Donald Trump leading President Joe Biden in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Trump in a direct confrontation lead Mr. Biden’s approval rating was 49%, and Mr. Biden’s approval rating was 45%, a 4-point difference. In this scenario, 4% are undecided and 2% say “other.”
However, even including third-party candidates, Trump’s lead over Biden expands to 5 points. In that scenario, Trump would lead Biden with a 46% approval rating, while the 81-year-old Biden would have an approval rating of 41%.
According to research:
Trump leads by a wide margin in both polls among voters 50 and older, but narrowly among voters 18 to 49. Among voters over 50, Trump has a significant lead in the 50-64 age group, but it is a close race among older voters.
…
Mr. Trump’s lead is largely due to stronger support among Republicans than Mr. Biden has among Democrats, but Mr. Trump also has a slight advantage among independents.
In fact, in a head-to-head race, Mr. Trump holds a 10-point lead over Mr. Biden among independents, and in a match that includes third-party candidates, he maintains a 5-point lead over Mr. Biden among independents.
The survey also revealed that Biden’s net job approval rating was -26 points. By contrast, Trump’s net job approval rating is +4.
“Trump’s recalled confirmation of office is a net 30 percentage point better than Biden’s. Additionally, voters over 50 approve of the job President Trump is doing by 12 percentage points,” the poll reveals. I made it.
The full survey was conducted April 24-30, 2024 among 600 voters across the state. There is a margin of error of +/- 4%.
Biden’s low job approval rating and lag behind Trump in Pennsylvania indicate that voters in the battleground states of Wisconsin (48%), Michigan (50%), and Pennsylvania (50%) That’s consistent with a recent CBS News poll that found about half believe the economy is getting worse.
