In the New York Times/Siena College survey, it was stated that about a year before the 2024 US presidential elections, Trump’s votes were ahead in the states that Biden won in the last elections: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona.
According to the survey dated October 22-November 3, Trump, who was clearly leading the race among the Republican candidates, gained a difference of 3 to 9 points in the said states.
According to the survey results, Trump outperformed Biden by 48 to 44 percent in Pennsylvania, 48 to 43 percent in Michigan, and 49 to 44 percent in Arizona.
In the 2020 presidential race, Trump surpassed Biden by 6 points (49 to 43 percent), according to the survey results covering the state of Georgia, where he was accused of rigging the election results.
The state where Donald Trump had the biggest lead over President Biden was Nevada, where he received 9 points more votes (52 to 41 percent).
Among the states in question, Biden was only able to gain an advantage over Trump by 2 points (47 to 45 percent) in Wisconsin.
PARTICIPANTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT BIDEN’S AGE
While most American citizens who participated in the survey stated that they found 77-year-old Trump mentally competent, they expressed that they were “concerned” about Biden’s advancing age.
About 71 percent of voters said they “somewhat agreed” that Biden was “too old to be an effective president.”
Only 39 percent of voters said the same about Trump.
Additionally, 52 percent of participants answered “yes” to the question of whether Trump has “the mental acuity to be an effective president”, while this rate remained at 35 percent for Biden on the same issue. (AA)
