According to a recent Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey, Former President Donald Trump is currently ahead of President Joe Biden in six out of seven crucial swing states.
This trend is attributed to the perception among Americans that the economy is heading in an unfavorable direction.
According to a survey conducted among around 5,000 registered voters, Trump is ahead of Biden in important states such as Arizona (49-42), Georgia (49-43), Nevada (51-43), North Carolina (51-41), Pennsylvania (47-46), and Wisconsin (48-44). However, Biden is leading Trump in Michigan (47-45).
A significant proportion of the individuals surveyed held a pessimistic perspective regarding the trajectory of the economy, with a considerable number anticipating a further deterioration.
Based on the poll results, 70% of the respondents expressed the belief that the economy was heading in an unfavorable direction, and 30% indicated that it was moving in a favorable direction.
When queried about the significance of the economy in influencing their choice for president, 82% responded that it would be of “great importance,” and 14% indicated it would be of “moderate importance.”
Additionally, 54% of Americans hold the belief that inflation will worsen by the end of the year, while 17% are of the opinion that it will improve.
Under the Biden administration, inflation has persisted at a high level, resulting in consumers facing increased costs for essential items such as food and gasoline.
Last month, a political action group supporting Trump unveiled a website called “Biden-mart” that focuses on the significant rise in food costs.
