Former President Donald Trump leads President Biden by two percentage points among registered voters nationwide in a head-to-head 2024 election matchup, according to a poll out Tuesday.
The New York Times/Siena College survey shows Trump is backed by 46% of those voters while Biden is supported by 44%. Another 9% of registered voters refused to answer either way.
Among likely voters, however, 47% said they backed Biden while 45% said they backed Trump and 8% said they didn’t know or declined to answer.
The split recalls Trump’s 2016 election victory, when he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by 2.1 percentage points but won the Electoral College.
Among voters who did not support either candidate as their first pick, 26% said they would choose Biden and 24% would choose Trump if they had to decide between the two. But half of them still refused to make a decision.
