Trump Leads Biden in Key Swing States

A series of recent polls indicate that former President Donald Trump has gained a lead over President Joe Biden in Virginia, a state Biden won by 10 points in 2020. An Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey shows Trump leading Biden 45% to 43%, with a larger lead of 43% to 38% when third-party candidates are included. This shift in Virginia reflects a broader trend, as Trump is also leading Biden in multiple key swing states such as North Carolina, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Michigan. The change in voter sentiment comes amid increasing pressure on Biden from some Democrats to step down due to declining approval ratings and poor debate performances. Despite this, prominent figures like Sen. Bernie Sanders continue to support Biden, arguing that he remains the best candidate for the Democratic Party.
