Biden Surges Ahead Of Trump In Race To The White House: Lead Hits Six-Month High, Shows Poll

President Joe Biden has established his biggest lead over former President Donald Trump in the last six months, according to the latest polling averages published on Friday.

What Happened: The polling averages, which are compiled by Race To The WH and analyze a range of surveys from reputable pollsters, show Biden leading Trump by 44.1% to 42.2%.

This lead, albeit slim, is Biden’s largest over Trump since the beginning of the year. The figures come as Trump continues to campaign for the Republican 2024 presidential nomination, while Biden has previously announced his intention to run for re-election.

Why It Matters: The polling averages reflect a shift in public sentiment, with Biden gaining ground over Trump. This comes after previous polls showed a narrower gap between the two potential candidates.

Trump, who is a frontrunner for the GOP’s 2024 nomination, is facing significant legal issues and potential indictments. Meanwhile, as the incumbent president, Biden is unlikely to face any major challengers for the Democratic nomination.

Amid the escalating competition for the White House, Trump and Biden have been launching a barrage of accusations against each other. Trump has accused Biden of weaponizing the Department Of Justice and the federal agencies to take on his political opponent. Trump also recently called the incumbent president a "very stupid person" and said, “I never went after Biden as I could have because of respect for the presidency.”
