According to a recent Cygnal survey, former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is viewed more favorably than President Biden in 39 key swing districts across the country.
From The New York Post:
Just 29% of both voter groups approved of Biden’s job performance, while 60% of likely independent voters and 63% of likely suburban voters disapproved of the 81-year-old president.
Trump, 77, had a 49% disapproval rating with both groups surveyed.
Overall, the former president scored a 45% approval rating in the survey, while Biden registered a 37% approval rating. Vice President Kamala Harris scored similarly to her running mate, with 37% holding a favorable view and 57% viewing her unfavorably.
The candidates are neck-and-neck across all districts surveyed, with 45% of voters backing Trump, 44% supporting Biden and 11% undecided.
Notably, neither the independent candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. nor replacing Trump with another Republican improves Biden’s standing with the voters.
“Trump’s absence on the ballot would likely result in lower turnout,” stated Brock McCleary, Cygnal’s vice president of polling. “In other words, Republicans have more to lose than gain without Trump on the ballot.”
