Trump leads Biden in Arizona, Nevada and Florida – tied in Virginia: poll
Former President Donald Trump leads President Biden in three states and is tied in a fourth, according to a new poll released Thursday.
The Fox News survey of registered voters, conducted after the guilty verdict in the 77-year-old former president’s Manhattan hush money trial, shows Trump ahead of Biden in the swing states of Arizona and Nevada, as well as in his adopted home state of Florida.
Trump is up on the 81-year-old president by 5 points in Arizona, leading by 51% to 46% margin in a head-to-head matchup. In a five way race, Trump maintains his 5 point advantage, leading Biden 46% to 41%.
The presumptive Republican nominee for president also leads Biden by 5 points in Nevada, where he is pulling 50% support to Biden’s 45% backing. With third-party candidates in the mix, Trump is up 45% to 40% in the Silver State.
Both states narrowly went to Biden in the 2020 election.
In Florida, the survey showed Trump leading Biden by 4 points – 50% to 46% – head to head, and by 7 points in a five-way contest, 47% to 40%.
The 2024 race is also neck and neck In Virginia, which Biden won by more than 10 points in 2020.
In the Old Dominion state, Trump and Biden are tied at 48% head to head.
However, the president has a razor-thin, 1 point lead when third-party candidates were included in the survey (42% to 41%).
Among the third-party candidates, independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. polled best but did not receive more than 9% support in any of the four states.
The survey, conducted between June 1-4, polled more than 1,000 registered voters in each state and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
