In a recent national poll, former President Donald Trump has edged ahead of President Joe Biden in a potential 2024 matchup, though the margin is narrower than some might expect.
The Marquette Law School national survey reveals that 51% of voters favor Trump, while 49% back Biden in a direct head-to-head contest.
Even when voters are presented with additional options, including supporting "someone else" or abstaining from voting, Trump maintains a lead with 45% compared to Biden's 42%.
This pattern holds across various scenarios, including a hypothetical five-candidate race where Trump still comes out on top.
Trump's advantage extends to likely voters, where he leads Biden 52% to 48% among independent voters, with a significant 11-point lead.
