Former President and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made his first appearance in nearly two years in the battleground state of Arizona, addressing a town hall meeting in Phoenix. Recent polls indicate a shift in voter sentiment in key swing states.
In Arizona, the former president leads President Biden by five percentage points among registered voters in a head-to-head matchup. This margin remains consistent even when factoring in independent candidates. Similarly, in Nevada, Trump holds a five-point lead over the current commander-in-chief, a state he lost in the 2020 election.
Notably, Trump has closed a 10-point deficit from 2020 in Virginia, now tied with President Biden in what was traditionally a blue state. The former president's lead in Florida stands at four points, mirroring his 2020 victory margin in the state. When considering other candidates, Trump's lead in Florida expands to seven points.
These latest polls suggest a resurgence in support for the former president in key battleground states, indicating a competitive landscape for the upcoming election. Trump's performance in these states could significantly impact the outcome of the race, with implications for both campaigns as they strategize for the road ahead.
