Following significant wins on Super Tuesday and the withdrawal of several candidates, Biden and Trump emerge as the presumptive nominees, setting the stage for a rematch of the 2020 election.
Recent election polls indicate a closely contested race between Biden and Trump, with both candidates garnering strong support among registered voters. The latest Morning Consult poll reveals a dead heat between the two contenders, each capturing 43% of the vote.
Interestingly, there has been a slight shift in voter preferences, with a one-point drop for Biden and a corresponding increase in support for alternative candidates, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Among Republican and Democratic voters, Trump and Biden maintain strong support, with 88% and 85%, respectively, selecting their party’s nominee as their top choice.
Independent voters, often crucial in determining election outcomes, show varying preferences. In the most recent poll, Trump held a slight edge over Biden.
However, a significant percentage of independent voters remain open to alternative candidates, highlighting the potential influence of third-party contenders.

In recent polls, the narrowing gap between Biden and Trump suggests a tightening race, with both candidates facing challenges in securing a decisive lead. Despite this, Trump maintains a higher net favorability rating, although both candidates exhibit negative ratings overall.
As voters consider their options for the upcoming election, key issues such as the economy, national security, healthcare, and immigration remain at the forefront of their concerns.
Recent polling indicates strong voter emphasis on economic and immigration policies, with significant increases in the perceived importance of immigration compared to previous elections.
In swing states, where the election outcome is often decisive, Trump holds the lead and enjoys greater voter confidence in his ability to address economic and immigration issues effectively.
The 2024 presidential election promises to be a closely watched and hotly contested race. Both Biden and Trump will vie for American voters’ support amid ongoing debates over critical policy issues.
