Trump leads Biden in Michigan and Georgia; razor-close in 2 other battleground states, new poll finds

Majorities of voters in four battleground states are unhappy with President Bidenâs job performance and donât feel they are getting ahead financially. Thatâs according to the latest Fox News statewide surveys in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The polls were conducted April 11-16 and include over 1,100 registered voters in each state. The surveys, released Thursday, show the head-to-head matchup between President Biden and former President Donald Trump is tight. The candidates are tied in two states (PA, WI) and Trump is ahead in two (GA, MI), although neither advantage is outside the margin of sampling error.

Trump, 77, is up on Biden, 81, in Michigan and Georgia, a Fox News survey of registered voters released Thursday shows.

In a head-to-head matchup, the presumptive Republican nominee received 49% support in Michigan compared to the president’s 46% backing.

With third-party candidates included, Trump’s lead in the Wolverine State is trimmed down to a 42%-40% advantage.

In Georgia, where Trump has been charged with interfering in the state’s 2020 election results, he leads Biden by a 6-point margin head-to-head of 51% to 45%.

In a five-way race, the former president’s lead increased by a point, 46%-39%.

The contests are even closer in Wisconsin and Biden’s home state of Pennsylvania.

With just the two in the ring, both candidates are tied with 48% support each in Pennsylvania.

Trump comes out on top of Biden in the Keystone State with third-party candidates in play, 44% to 42%.

Biden and his predecessor are also tied in Wisconsin, head-to-head, with 48% support each.

However, the president leads Trump in a five-way race, 43% to 41%.

The results in each state were within the poll’s margin of error.

Every third-party candidate – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Jill Stein and Cornel West – polled below 10% in all four states, with RFK Jr., doing the best, garnering support between 7%-9% in each state.

The poll also found that despite more voters disapproving of Biden’s job in the White House – by at least 10 points in all four states – the president outperforms his approval rating by at least 3 points in a two-way matchup with Trump.

Every third-party candidate – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Jill Stein and Cornel West – polled below 10% in all four states, with RFK Jr., doing the best, garnering support between 7%-9% in each state.

Voters in each state also trust Trump more the Biden on issues related to immigration and the economy, whereas Biden has the edge on matters concerning election integrity and healthcare, according to the poll.

When it comes to abortion, Biden has more trust in Michigan (+5), Pennsylvania (+10) and Wisconsin (+9), while Trump holds a slim 2-point edge in Georgia.

All four states went for Biden over Trump in 2020.
