Trump leads Biden by FOUR POINTS: Daily Mail poll reveals the president is ... trends now
Donald Trump maintains a four-point lead in the latest J.L. Partners/DailyMail.com 2024 poll published Thursday, suggesting President Joe Biden's surge in campaign travel and forceful State of the Union address has failed to win over voters.
It means the former president's lead is unchanged since December.
When 1000 likely voters were asked who they would pick if the election were tomorrow, 39 percent said Biden and 43 percent said they would opt for Trump.
With a margin of error of 3.1 points, it suggests the election will go down to the wire and could be decided by just a few thousand voters in swing states.
Both candidates clinched their parties presumptive nominations on the same day: March 12.
J.L. Partners polled 1000 likely voters from March 20 to 24 via landline, cellphone, SMS and apps. The results carry a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent
The results show Donald Trump maintains his four-point lead over Joe Biden, with a little over seven months to the November 5 presidential election
And both saw their overall share of the vote increase by three points since December.
But positive headlines about Biden's State of the Union address—one of the biggest political set-piece events of the year—and a recent flurry of campaign travel has yet to translate into improving poll numbers.
He has visited Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan this month.
Pollster James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners, said the State of the Union may have pleased Beltway commentators but there was little sign it had swayed voters.
'Though he has a more favorable view among those who were already voting for him, few have changed their minds since our last poll and Trump remains on course to win the popular vote,' he said.
'Plenty could change but a combination of a disastrous Biden brand, positive memories of the Trump administration, the dominance of the border issue, and court cases only galvanizing rather that hurting Trump's support means that Trump remains ahead as we move into the second quarter of the year.'
Trump overtook Biden in our election poll in September last year and has maintained a steady lead since then.
