Trump leads Biden by 4 points, according to NYT poll

Former President Donald Trump has a 4 percent advantage over President Joe Biden in a New York Times/Siena College poll of likely voters released Saturday.

Of respondents who said they were likely to vote, 48 percent said they would vote for the former president if the presidential election were to be held today, with 44 percent responding they would vote for Biden. Among registered voters, Trump had support from 48 percent of respondents and Biden 43 percent.

With a choice between Nikki Haley, Trump’s last remaining GOP primary opponent, and Biden, 46 percent of respondents favored Haley and 37 percent favored Biden.

The poll reflects a downswing in Biden’s favorability just nine months before the 2024 presidential elections, as the president faces mounting questions about his advanced age, attacks on immigration issues, and growing frustration over his handling of the war in Gaza.
