During a network segment on CNN, correspondent John King and longtime host and anchor Wolf Blitzer discussed current polling numbers for both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, predicting that Trump could be on track to win as many as 330 electoral votes. This would be a resounding rejection of the Democratic Party’s far-left administration under Biden.
Blitzer brought in King to assess the current state of the race between the two presidential contenders, with Trump leading slightly in key battleground states. According to CNN’s political unit, led by David Chalian, if the election were held today and the map played out like the projections, even toss-up states going blue would not be enough for Joe Biden to win.
King pointed out that Donald Trump is leading in several critical states, such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona. The map also shows Trump with a lead in Nebraska’s second congressional district. Nebraska, like Maine, rewards electoral votes by congressional district, which could potentially contribute to Trump’s overall electoral count.
The correspondent further explained that new polling data reveals President Biden’s approval rating and ballot numbers are below 40 in many of these battleground states. Democrats are concerned that the president may need to allocate more time and resources to competitive states like Virginia and New Hampshire, which were once considered safe for their party.
In addition to these challenges, there is growing concern among Democrats that Trump could potentially secure as many as 330 electoral votes or even more. The Trump campaign suggests that the former president may have a chance in traditionally blue states such as Minnesota and New Mexico. However, this remains uncertain at this time.
Overall, the current state of polling shows that Donald Trump is in command and holds an advantage over Joe Biden. As the election season progresses, it remains to be seen how these numbers will change, but for now, the president’s standing and public opinion on various issues are not favorable for his re-election bid.
