Former Vice President Joe Biden is now the Democratic presidential frontrunner and the media has been giddy about this because they believe he can defeat President Donald Trump in the general election.
Former Vice President Joe Biden is now the Democratic presidential frontrunner and the media has been giddy about this because they believe he can defeat President Donald Trump in the general election.
But a new poll shows that Trump still leads Biden in a matchup in key battleground states that could decide the winner of the 2020 election.
The Firehouse Strategies and Optimus poll reveals, however, that the margin between the two candidates is slim.
In Michigan and Wisconsin, Trump leads Biden by two points. In Pennsylvania, Trump leads Biden by one point.
Biden has strengthened his support as the former vice president trailed Trump by nine points in Wisconsin when the same poll took the temperature of voters in December. Sen. Bernie Sanders does worse against Trump in the three swing states — seven points behind Trump in Michigan, four points behind Trump in Pennsylvania, and six points behind Trump in Wisconsin.
Breitbart reports:
The former vice president has benefited from clearing the 2020 Democrat presidential field but does not lead the president.
In Michigan, Trump leads with 46 percent against Biden at 44 percent. In Pennsylvania, Trump leads with 45 percent, while Biden garners 44 percent. In Wisconsin, Trump leads with 45 percent while Biden gets 43 percent support.
Trump leads Sanders 48 percent to 41 percent in Michigan, 46 percent to 42 percent in Pennsylvania, and 48 percent to 42 percent in Wisconsin.
Biden’s campaign was politically dead until he won South Carolina, then it sure looks like the fix was in to help him.
