WASHINGTON, D.C. – With the presidential election looming just seven months away, the political landscape is intensifying as former President Donald Trump leads against President Joe Biden in nearly all critical battleground states that are poised to play a decisive role in the 2024 rematch. A recent Wall Street Journal survey highlights Trump’s advantage in six of the seven states examined: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, indicating a shift that mirrors the tight competition witnessed in the 2020 election.
Trump’s current leads range from a single point in Georgia to six points in North Carolina, inclusive of third-party and independent candidates. His advantage persists in a direct head-to-head with Biden, underscoring a potential replay of the 2020 electoral dynamics. Back then, Biden narrowly surpassed Trump in these pivotal states, excluding North Carolina, to clinch the presidency, reflecting the high stakes and closely fought battles characteristic of these regions.
In 2020, the election’s outcome hinged on a handful of states that flipped from red to blue, marking a significant moment in U.S. political history. Biden’s victory was solidified by winning Arizona by a margin of 0.3 percentage points, Georgia by 0.2 points, and Wisconsin by 0.6 points, among others. These razor-thin margins underscored the country’s deep political divisions and the critical role swing states play in determining the election outcome. The current polling suggests a potential reversal of fortunes, with Trump now leading in most of these battlegrounds, highlighting the continued importance of these states in the electoral process.

The Wall Street Journal survey also revealed voters’ perceptions of Biden’s job performance, which is viewed negatively in all seven battleground states, in contrast to the favorable opinions held about Trump’s presidency, except in Nevada. When it comes to handling specific issues, respondents favor Trump over Biden on the economy and immigration, yet Biden is preferred for managing abortion issues. These findings reflect broader national concerns and voter priorities leading up to the 2024 election.
Another critical aspect of the current political debate is the candidates’ perceived fitness to serve. Approximately 48% of voters consider Trump more fit for the presidency than Biden, with only 28% viewing Biden as having the requisite mental and physical stamina for another term. This concern is echoed in the national conversation, with First Lady Jill Biden responding to the dismal polling results by emphasizing the ongoing nature of the campaign and the potential for improvement in battleground states.
In the broader context, a national survey by NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist shows Biden with a slight two-point lead over Trump among likely voters, signaling a close race ahead. Interestingly, Trump holds a seven-point lead among independent voters, highlighting the competitive nature of the upcoming election and the fluidity of voter preferences.
The fundraising efforts of both campaigns further reflect the high stakes involved. Trump and the Republican National Committee reported a significant haul in March, while Biden’s campaign, although trailing in the latest month, maintains a substantial cash reserve from previous fundraising activities. These financial dynamics play a crucial role in shaping the campaign strategies and messaging leading up to November.
The parallels between the 2024 and 2020 elections are striking, with key battleground states again at the forefront of the electoral battle. The narrow margins by which Biden won pivotal states in 2020 underscore the importance of every vote and the unpredictable nature of electoral politics. As both campaigns gear up for the final months of the election cycle, the lessons from 2020 serve as a crucial backdrop for understanding the current political landscape and voter sentiments. With the potential for another closely contested election, the importance of strategic campaigning, voter outreach, and addressing key issues cannot be overstated, as the political fate of the U.S. hangs in the balance.

I have no idea.
No one wants to report on or talk about what, if anything, has been done to ensure the 2024 election process is not a repeat of the questionable 2020 results.
It would be great to have a single document that addresses all of the reported discrepancies, what was actually found and what has been done to prevent it happening again.
