Another day, another round of bad polling news for President Biden.
The 80-year-old incumbent once again finds himself trailing former President Donald Trump in a new batch of swing state polls — released the same day Biden’s campaign accused the “pundit class” of needlessly hyperventilating about his re-election chances.
The Emerson College survey out Thursday found Biden behind Trump, 77, among likely voters in four of six states expected to be vital battlegrounds in next year’s election.
The 45th president currently leads the 46th president in Arizona (46%-44%), Georgia (49%-41%), Nevada (47%-44%) and Pennsylvania (49%-45%).
Biden narrowly leads Trump, 45% to 43%, among likely voters in Michigan, and the two major party front-runners are tied in Wisconsin with 45% apiece.
“Biden is generally underperforming his 2020 support with voters under 30, whereas Trump has locked in his support with middle-aged voters,” explained Emerson College Polling executive director Spencer Kimball.
