Former President Trump is leading President Biden nationally and in seven battleground states, according to a new survey.
The Emerson College poll, sponsored by Democrats for the Next Generation and published Thursday, found 46 percent of registered voters say they support Trump, compared to 42 percent who chose Biden and 12 percent that are undecided. The pollster noted, however, that Biden’s support dipped by 2 points since the poll was taken earlier this month while Trump’s support stayed the same.
“Recent polling shows Biden losing support more significantly than Trump gaining it since the attempted assassination,” Spencer Kimball, director of Emerson College polling, said in a statement. “This raises questions about whether Biden’s decline is still influenced by the debate or if Trump has reached his support ceiling.”
The survey was conducted after the attempted assassination of Trump over the weekend, where a gunman took aim at the former president during a rally in Pennsylvania and grazed his ear with a bullet. The gunman and one rally attendee were killed during the incident, and two others were critically injured, per the Secret Service.
The poll also noted that since March, Trump has gained 1 point in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and two points in Arizona. He has lost one point in Michigan.
