"2024 Election Polls: Trump Narrowly Leads Biden in Rematch, Biden's Approval Ticks Up"

A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows former President Donald Trump narrowly leading President Joe Biden in a potential 2024 general election rematch, with 49% of registered voters backing Trump and 45% supporting Biden. The poll also reveals conflicted feelings about the leading candidates, with a sizable minority expressing a desire for another option. Both Trump and Biden continue to have low favorability ratings, and a victory by either candidate would leave most of the nation dissatisfied. Additionally, the poll indicates that a third-party or independent candidate for president is popular in theory, but in reality, such bids rarely generate as much support as pre-election polling would suggest.
