Poll: Trump Continues to Lead Biden (Exclusive)

Former President Donald Trump continues to lead President Joe Biden in the latest Messenger/Harris poll conducted by HarrisX. 

The poll, conducted online November 22-28 among 4,003 registered voters, found Trump led Biden, 46%-42%. Thirteen percent were undecided. The margin of error was plus or minus 1.6 percentage points. 

Biden and Trump’s support mostly breaks down along partisan lines. Independents, however, tilt towards Trump, 40%-34%, while 25% were undecided. 

In a four-way race with independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Cornel West on the ballot, Trump earned 41%, Biden 33%, Kennedy 13%, and West 2%. 

Biden’s approval ratings remain low. Thirty-eight percent of registered voters approved of his job performance while 57% disapproved.  

While most data points to a Biden vs. Trump rematch, America isn’t so keen on the idea. Most voters don’t want Biden (67%) or Trump (55%) to seek another four-year term. Forty percent of Democrats say they don’t want Biden to seek another term while 22% of Republicans say they don’t want Trump to run again either. 

In the national Republican primary, Trump extended his dominant lead over his primary rivals. Trump led the field with 68% support, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 9% and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley at 7% Venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy was at 4%. All other candidates were at 1% or less. 

When asked who voters would support if their preferred candidate were not available in the GOP primary, 33% said DeSantis, 13% said Haley, 13% said Ramaswamy, and 8% said Trump. 

In the Democratic primary, Biden led with 65% support, followed by author Marianne Williamson at 8% and Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips at 4%. Eleven percent said they’d back someone else and 13% said they weren’t sure.
