For the first time in the 2024 presidential cycle, Donald Trump ceded the lead to President Joe Biden in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, a new poll found.
Presidential Election: In a ”too-close-to-call” hypothetical 2024 presidential election matchup, Biden took the lead over Trump by a margin of 49% to 46% in Pennsylvania, the Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters in Pennsylvania released Wednesday showed.
The survey solicited responses from 1,680 Pennsylvania self-identified registered voters from Jan. 4-8, 2024.
The choice of candidates was along party lines. Democrats backed Biden by a 96%-4% margin and 89% of Republicans chose Trump as opposed to 7 who supported Biden. Trump held an edge among independent voters, with 45% supporting him versus 44% who backed Biden.
Quinnipiac’s October poll in the state showed Trump ahead with a 47%-45% margin against Biden. In June Trump and his successor received the support of 47% and 46% of the respondents, respectively.
In a five-way hypothetical contest including independent and Green Party candidates, Biden pushed ahead with 41% support. Thirty-nine percent of the respondents threw their weight behind Trump, while Robert Kennedy Jr. and Green Party candidate Jill Stein received 11% and 4% support, respectively.
