Recent Poll Shows Biden Pulling Ahead of Trump in 2024 Election

Who will be the next president of the United States? For a long time, most national polls have shown that Donald Trump is leading or at least tied with President Biden.

But that is no longer the case.

It shows one fresh measurement fra Quinnipiac University i delstaten Connecticut.

If the election were today, the survey places Biden at 50 percent against Trump at 44 percent. In a similar measurement carried out just before the New Year, the margin between them was too small to be able to say anything about the result, writes Politico. The case is also discussed by, among others Fox News and The Hill.

The survey also shows that Biden has greater support among independent voters, at 52 against 40 percent.

Furthermore, it shows that Biden overall has greater support within the Democratic Party than Trump has in the Republican Party.

Haley tails in

If, on the other hand, the election was between Biden and the Republican candidate Nikki Haley, the survey shows that Haley would win with 47 percent, against Biden’s 42 percent.

– In a one-on-one scenario against Biden, Haley does better than Trump because of the independent voters. If you add candidates from various third parties, things get worse for her. This is because she makes it weaker among Republicans in general, said analyst Tim Malloy at Quinnipiac University in a press release, according to The Hill.

Nikki Haley is a former governor of South Carolina and was the US representative to the UN during the Trump administration.

In the New Hampshire primary, many expected her to do well. She lost with 43 percent to Trump’s 55 percent. It still doesn’t look like she’s giving up anytime soon, according to NTB.

Collected 19 million

At least one person who is not giving up is Donald Trump.

Trump received 19 million dollars in campaign contributions in the last quarter of last year, according to figures submitted to the Federal Election Commission, writes NTB.

The sum, which corresponds to just under NOK 200 million at today’s exchange rate, has been reported by the ex-president’s election campaign apparatus.

Nikki Haley stated earlier in January that she has received $24 million in campaign contributions. So far, everything indicates that it is Trump who will run against Joe Biden in November, as it was four years ago.

The incumbent president’s people announced in January that they have raised $97 million for the effort to get him re-elected. That includes money raised by the party, as well as Joe Biden’s own campaign machinery.

NOK 1.7 billion was spent

One person who has given up in the race is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who spent close to NOK 1.7 billion in the attempt to become the Republican presidential candidate.

On January 21, DeSantis gave up the attempt to become the party’s candidate and is now standing behind Donald Trump, but the seven months of campaigning cost him and his financial backers dearly, documents show, reports NTB.

According to the documents, close to NOK 1.7 billion was spent in the election campaign, but this does not include what was spent in the two weeks leading up to the nomination election in Iowa.

Trump won by a clear margin in Iowa, and both DeSantis and his donors realized then how expensive it would be if he were to continue the fight against Trump in state after state.
