President Biden was questioned on Thursday about recent polling that shows former President Donald Trump leading in five out of six major battleground states. White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed Biden on the significance of abortion in the upcoming 2024 election and his rivalry with Trump. Multiple polls have indicated a significant lead for Trump over Biden in these crucial swing states.
Doocy began by asking Biden why people should be more concerned about abortion access than his age. Biden responded, “I don’t think it’s a comparable comparison.” The reporter then asked why Biden is trailing Trump in swing-state polls. Biden disputed this claim, stating, “Because you don’t read the polls—there are 10 polls—eight of them I’m beating him in. You guys only do two. CNN, New York Times, check it out. We’ll get you a copy.”
This exchange occurred shortly after a New York Times/Siena College poll revealed that Trump is leading Biden in five out of six key states in a potential 2024 head-to-head matchup. Trump holds an advantage in Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania by margins of four points or more. However, Biden maintains a narrow lead of 47%-45% in Wisconsin.
While Trump remains dominant in the Republican 2024 presidential field, Biden is expected to secure the Democratic nomination. The polls have sparked discussions about the potential outcome of the 2024 election and the significance of key swing states.
