READ HERE: A recent poll has found that former President Donald Trump is able to maintain – and even expand – his lead against President Joe Biden in six crucial swing states that could decide the election.
The poll was conducted by the Democrats for the Next Generation in collaboration with Emerson College on July 8. It disclosed that Trump led Biden by at least three points in all but one swing state, Michigan, where Trump’s lead is narrower.
Specifically, the results show that in Pennsylvania, Trump has 48 percent (+5) to Biden’s 43 percent; in Wisconsin, Trump has 47 percent (+3) to Biden’s 44 percent; in Michigan, Trump has 45 percent (+1) to Biden’s 44 percent; in Nevada, Trump has 47 percent (+6) to Biden’s 41 percent; in Arizona, Trump has 46 percent (+4) to Biden’s 42 percent; and in Georgia, Trump has 47 percent (+5) to Biden’s 42 percent.

These figures indicate a notable increase in Trump’s lead over Biden in Georgia (+1), Nevada (+4) and Pennsylvania (+3) compared to a similar poll in June.
In April, political strategist Doug Sosnik wrote in the New York Times that all these states, including North Carolina, will be critical in the upcoming election. If Trump wins just two states among Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Biden’s path to the 270 electoral votes necessary to win would become significantly more challenging, if not impossible.
“The key to Mr. Biden’s victory is to perform well in the three industrial states. If Mr. Trump is able to win one or more of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Mr. Biden’s path to 270 electoral votes becomes even narrower. If Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump remain ahead in the states where they are currently running strongest, the outcome of the election could come down to who wins Michigan and the two Sun Belt states where abortion will very likely be on the ballot, Arizona and Nevada,” Sosnik wrote.
