The 2024 presidential race takes a dramatic turn as former President Trump gains significant ground following a disastrous debate performance by President Biden. A new poll from the New York Times and Siena College reveals Trump leading Biden by 49% to 43% among likely voters nationwide.
Key points from the poll:
• Trump's lead widens to 49% to 41% among registered voters
• 74% of voters believe Biden is too old to be an effective president
• Concerns about Biden's age spiked 8 points among Democrats, to 59%
• Nearly 80% of independents view Biden as too old for the White House
The Biden campaign is scrambling to address growing calls from within the Democratic party for the president to step aside. White House excuses, including claims of fatigue, have failed to stem the tide of criticism.
As the race heats up, both campaigns are closely watching these shifting poll numbers. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
