In exciting news for conservatives, a recent Cygnal poll has revealed that Donald Trump is currently leading Joe Biden among independent voters. With less than a year to go until the 2024 presidential election, this result is a clear indication that Trump’s momentum is on the rise. According to the poll, 44% of independents would vote for Trump, while only 38% would back Biden if the election were held today. It seems that a significant portion of independent voters remains undecided, with 18% still unsure of their choice.
Notably, the poll also highlighted that Trump’s favorability among independents is six points higher than Biden’s. This demonstrates that Trump’s appeal and support extend beyond traditional party lines, resonating with a wide range of voters. Critics of Trump within the Republican Party often claim that he is a burden on the GOP, but this poll suggests otherwise. In fact, it reveals that Biden would fare better against a “generic Republican” candidate than Trump, contradicting the assumptions of Trump’s Republican critics.
NEW: Donald Trump leads Pres. Biden in five of six key battleground states, according to a new New York Times / Siena poll:
NV: Trump 52%, Biden 41%
GA: Trump 49%, Biden 43%
AZ: Trump 49%, Biden 44%
MI: Trump 48%, Biden 43%
PA: Trump 48%, Biden 44%

While Biden maintains a narrow lead over Trump in the overall poll, with 47% to 45%, his advantage diminishes significantly when independent candidate and ex-Democrat Robert F. Kennedy is factored in. In this scenario, Biden’s lead shrinks to just one point, with Trump leading at 36% and Biden trailing at 30%, while RFK captures 17% of independent voters. The addition of RFK to the race appears to negatively impact both Trump and Biden, causing them to lose eight points with independents.
The poll also revealed that moderates, a key demographic, prefer Trump over Biden by seven points. When presented with the choice between Biden and a non-Trump Republican, moderates are more divided. These findings underscore the broad appeal that Trump continues to hold among various groups of voters.
In light of these results, there are clear warning signs for Biden’s campaign. His age and fitness remain sources of skepticism, and the public’s dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy is widespread. The middle class is being crushed by high interest rates and persistent inflation, casting doubt on Biden’s ability to effectively manage the country’s financial well-being. Additionally, illegal immigration has reached record levels under Biden’s leadership, contributing to an overall sense of chaos. Meanwhile, Trump’s dominance in the Republican presidential primary indicates a highly likely rematch between him and Biden, despite the mounting pressure on Biden to reconsider his campaign.
As conservatives celebrate Trump’s growing support among independent voters, the New York Times poll showing Biden’s struggle in key swing states has caused quite a stir. Moreover, recent polling indicates that Trump is gaining traction with young voters, a demographic that played a crucial role in Biden’s 2020 coalition. These trends should give Biden’s team reason to worry as they look ahead to the upcoming election.
