Former President Donald Trump has taken a strong lead over incumbent President Joe Biden in various polls, indicating a potential victory in the upcoming general election.
The polls show Trump leading in key demographics and on important issues such as handling inflation, immigration, and border security.
“Trump’s advantage comes from record or near-record support among key Democratic groups, while maintaining strong support among his own constituencies,” Fox News’ Victoria Balara wrote. “For instance, 28% of Black voters support Trump in the head-to-head against Biden, 7 times as many as supported him four years ago (4% in February 2020). In addition, Trump has significant support among voters under age 30 (51%) and Democrats (8%), with near-record support among Hispanics (48%) and suburban women (43%).”

Biden received poor ratings on these issues, with strong disapproval from voters.
Trump’s support has grown among traditionally Democratic groups, showing a shift in voter preferences.
“Almost 8 in 10 voters say the situation at the southern border is either a major problem (37%) or an emergency (41%) and that Congress deserves a great deal (52%) or some (29%) of the blame for no action,” Balara wrote. “Fewer, though still 7 in 10, say the Biden administration’s lack of enforcement is the cause for the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border (47% a great deal, 25% some).”
The surveys suggest a significant advantage for Trump as the nation heads into the 2024 general election.
