Former President Donald Trump has maintained his advantage over President Joe Biden in most battleground states, according to the latest Emerson College poll released for June on Thursday (June 20).
Trump is currently leading Biden in Arizona (47% to 43%), Georgia (45% to 41%), Wisconsin (47% to 44%), Nevada (46% to 43%), Pennsylvania (47% to 45%) and Michigan (46% to 45%), while Biden holds a slight edge in Minnesota (45% to 45%).
“In our first polling in several key swing states since Trump’s conviction last month, there has been little movement, with support for both Trump and Biden staying largely consistent since November,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “Notably, results fall within the poll’s margin of error.”
“Independent voters break for Trump in all seven states – however, there has been some movement among these voters since April,” Kimball added. “In Arizona, Trump’s support among independents dropped five points, from 48% to 43%. In Michigan, Trump’s support dropped three, from 44% to 41%, and in Pennsylvania, Trump dropped eight points, from 49% to 41%. Biden lost support among independents in Georgia, by six points, 42% to 36% and Nevada, by five, 37% to 32%.”
Trump was previously reported to have a 50% to 49% advantage nationally, while Biden has a 50% to 49% edge in battleground states, according to a CBS News poll released on June 9.
