The newest New York Times/Siena poll shows that Donald Trump is leading Joe Biden by eight percentage points among registered voters and six percentage points among likely voters. This marks a three-point shift towards Trump since the last survey. However, other polls, such as Reuters/Ipsos and CBS News, show a tie or a slight lead for Biden. The Wall Street Journal poll indicates Trump’s lead has widened nationally.
Trump’s fundraising numbers are also significant, with a $331 million haul in the second quarter giving him more cash on hand than Biden. Donors are now considering shifting focus towards congressional races in anticipation of a potential second Trump term. The debate performance of Biden has raised concerns within the Democratic Party, with doubts about his ability to be re-elected. Pollsters believe that voter turnout among those who did not participate in previous elections could be a deciding factor in the upcoming election.
In addition, the discussion around potential vice presidential candidates is gaining momentum. Trump’s choice for running mate is under close scrutiny within the GOP, with considerations for a younger or person of color candidate to counter Biden’s potential replacements. The campaign strategies of both candidates are also being analyzed, with Biden planning a substantial ad blitz while Trump focuses on key battleground states.
