Trump Edges Biden in Latest Poll; Economic Concerns Key for 2024 Election Outcome
May 28, 2024In the latest national poll for the 2024 presidential race, Trump leads Biden by just under two points in a five-way contest.
Trump holds 40% compared to Biden's 37% in the five-way contest, while both are tied at 50% each in a two-way matchup.
Biden's reelection chances may depend on irregular and disengaged voters who did not vote in 2020, as Trump has gained support among these voters.
There is uncertainty about the loyalty of these irregular voters to Trump in November due to their history of splitting tickets.
The economy is a key issue for irregular voters, with Democratic-leaning ones viewing it more negatively.
Biden needs to strengthen his economic message, particularly among young voters and minorities who supported him in 2020.
Despite Biden's strong performance among young voters in the previous election, he must navigate different dynamics in 2024 to secure reelection.
Experts caution against over-interpreting polls at this stage, with the election scheduled for November 5.
