Trump Leads Biden In Seven Swing States Heading Into 2024

Former President Donald Trump began the week with positive polling results as 2023 comes to an end and the 2024 election cycle begins to gain momentum, with primary voting in the first states only a month away.

A recent Morning Consult/Bloomberg News poll found that Trump leads Biden by 47% to 42% across seven swing states.

“Trump leads by three percent in Arizona, by seven points in Georgia, by four points in Michigan, by five points in Nevada, by 11 points in North Carolina, by a single point in Pennsylvania, and by six points in Wisconsin,” the UK’s Independent reported, citing the survey.

As President Trump maintains a steady lead in the GOP field in Iowa, which will hold its first-in-the-nation primary next month, Democrats in key 2024 swing states have dropped the use of “Bidenomics” as election season progresses.

Initially used by President Biden himself and credited to the media, it became increasingly apparent that this phrase was not resonating with voters.

According to NBC News, Biden had only uttered the term once since November began.

Similarly, an analysis of online posts and congressional office press releases revealed that out of 19 Democrats representing seats classified as Toss Up or Lean Democrat by the Cook Political Report, none have employed “Bidenomics” when referring to their re-election campaigns.

“The lone battleground Democrat who has used the term ‘Bidenomics’ is Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, who used a graphic on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the words ‘Bidenomics works,’ when noting monthly job growth figures,” NBC News added.

Republicans running for light-blue seats are attempting to link incumbent Democrats with the term ‘Bidenomics’, such as Joe Kent, a Republican running for Congress in Washington’s 3rd District, against incumbent Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

He recently stated that “Perez-Bidenomics is driving up drug costs” on X. Additionally, Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., the House GOP conference chair, wrote on X this week that “House Democrats own #Bidenomics”.

Polling data suggests Americans are not satisfied with the current state of the economy due to higher prices and inflation rates; they largely blame President Biden for this development.

For instance, according to a poll from RealClearPolitics in late October, only 39 percent of voters in four key swing states—Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina—have faith in Biden’s ability to manage the economy.

Moreover, among those who had a favorable opinion of his handling of economic affairs – just 9 percent provided strong approval.

Steve Cortes – chairman and founder of the League of American Workers – noted that 77 percent surveyed indicated their belief that the nation was headed in the wrong direction was attributed to economic concerns.

“So, despite the propaganda of media apologists and cherry-picking of a small set of data points that appear temporarily uplifting, voters clearly understand their tough economic slog and place blame squarely upon Biden and his allies,” the author said.

“In fact, in separate polling from Gallup going back seven decades, Republicans have never before enjoyed a larger edge on the primary issue of the day, the economy. Combining that survey with this new LAW poll in battleground states, the harsh reality of economic anxiety becomes clearer, especially for citizens of modest means,” he said.
