President Joe Biden trails former President Donald Trump in six of the seven battleground states, new polls show This is evident from the Wall Street Journal.
The survey data, released Tuesday evening, shows Trump leading Biden in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
The two men are linked in Wisconsin, where Trump held a rally Tuesday night, with only Trump and Biden on the ballot. Biden leads Trump in Wisconsin when third-party candidates are taken into account.
Biden’s biggest deficit is in North Carolina, a state that Trump narrowly won in 2020 and which has a strong gubernatorial race that could make November’s outcome a nail-biter.
And the president’s age continues to drag down his poll numbers — with just 28 percent of swing state voters saying they believe the 81-year-old Biden is in better physical and mental condition to run the White House.

Forty-eight percent of respondents said 77-year-old Trump.
Another 20 percent of voters answered “neither.”
Across the board, both presidential candidates are deeply unpopular.
In every swing state, more than 40 percent of the electorate said they had a “very unfavorable view” of Trump and Biden.
Of the third-party hopefuls, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy receives the most support, polling between 7 and 15 percent in the seven battleground states.
Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaxxer, is doing best in Nevada, where he gets 15 percent of the vote, Trump’s 37 percent and Biden’s 33 percent.
RFK Jr. takes only 7 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania, where Trump leads Biden by 41 percent to 38 percent.
In a two-person race, Trump is also three points ahead of Biden — 47 percent to 44 percent — in Pennsylvania, the state where the president was born.
