A poll released on Sunday indicates that former President Donald Trump is currently ahead of the incumbent, Joe Biden, in five out of six critical battleground states, which are expected to play a crucial role in determining the winner of the 2024 presidential election.

The survey, conducted in partnership between the Siena College Research Institute and The New York Times, involved polling 3,662 registered voters in the states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The polling took place from October 22 to November 3.

"The only good news for President Joe Biden in this New York Times/Siena College poll is that it was conducted a year before voters go to the polls," Don Levy, director of Siena College Research Institute, said.

Former President Donald Trump held a lead over Biden in several key battleground states, with Trump ahead by 11 points in Nevada, 7 points in Georgia, 5 points in Arizona, 4 points in Pennsylvania, and 3 points in Michigan. Biden however maintained a 3-point lead in Wisconsin. It's worth noting that in the 2020 election, Biden had won all six of these battleground states. The poll also suggested that another Democratic candidate might have better odds in these states.

In the surveyed battleground states, a significant majority of voters expressed their disapproval of President Biden's job performance, with 59% disapproving. A notable 71% believed that he was too old to run for president again, and 62% felt that he lacked mental sharpness. In contrast, only 38% considered former President Trump too old, and 54% believed that Trump possessed the mental sharpness required for the presidency. These findings indicate a challenging political landscape for President Biden in these key states.

Several news reports have over the past few days highlighted that US President Joe Biden's chances of securing another win in the upcoming elections may be compromised in light of the ongoing war on Gaza. 

Former Virginia State Senator Richard Black told Sputnik on Saturday that Biden's neglect of the suffering of the Arabs and his apathy toward the genocide in Gaza may cost him his presidency.   

On a similar note, a report by Axios on Saturday revealed that rife divisions were reigning within the Democratic Party over the war on Gaza, between older pro-"Israel" Democrats and younger progressives who are more sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.

If the election were held today, former President Donald Trump would easily beat President Joe Biden with over 300 electoral votes, according to a new swing state poll from The New York Times and Siena College. https://t.co/4at08MgkQ8
