Former President Donald Trump holds a lead over President Joe Biden heading into this presidential election year, the latest poll shows.<\/p>\n

The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll, conducted Jan. 2-4, found that among likely voters, Trump holds 45% support compared to Biden\u2019s 41% in a head-to-head faceoff, a lead that’s outside of the poll’s 2% margin for error with the Iowa Caucuses scheduled for Monday (Jan. 15).<\/p>\n

The remaining 14% who responded they were \u201cnot sure\u201d could swing the election in favor of either candidate.<\/p>\n

The latest poll flips the script on the previous The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll conducted in October<\/a>, when Biden held a 48% to 44% advantage over Trump. Other recent polls also show Trump with a significant lead over Biden in key swing states<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s lead is due in large part to his growing support among Hispanic and Black voters, which is higher than Republican presidential candidates have received in the past.<\/p>\n

Trump has 10% support among Black voters compared to Biden\u2019s 74%. While 10% is far lower than Biden\u2019s support, it is actually much higher than Republican presidential candidates normally garner.<\/p>\n

One portion of the survey allowed Republican voters to share why they prefer Trump over his primary competitors, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, over whom he holds a wide lead.<\/p>\n

A Black Trump supporter wrote, \u201che is really a man of his words and doesn\u2019t have a lot of lobbyists telling him what to do or say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among Hispanics, Trump has 45% support compared to Biden\u2019s 38% support.<\/p>\n

One Hispanic Trump supporter wrote, \u201cI love that he isn\u2019t afraid to be who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another Hispanic Trump supporter wrote, \u201cthe stuff he has been saying and doing really makes me believe he can make an impact on the world nowadays. I mean look at gas prices. They went up 300% ever since Joe Biden got here as President.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has 49% support among white voters, compared to Biden\u2019s 35% support.<\/p>\n

Trump also does better than Biden with male voters, beating Biden 50% to 34%, according to the survey. Biden, though, does better with female voters, beating Trump with 45% support compared to Trump\u2019s 39%.<\/p>\n

Trump performs better than Biden across every age demographic except seniors age 65 and older. For that group, Trump and Biden are tied with 42% support. Each age demographic has a large percentage responding they remained \u201cnot sure,\u201d ranging between 15% and 20%.<\/p>\n

Elevated inflation, a crisis at the southern border, and ongoing overseas conflicts have chipped away at Biden\u2019s support. Millions of illegal immigrants have poured into the U.S. since Biden took office, leading even Democratic mayors to raise the alarm. The chaotic and deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan marked a downward turning point for Biden\u2019s approval numbers, from which he has not recovered. Concerns over the U.S.\u2019 role in Ukraine and the potential for the Israel-Gaza war to escalate are also a factor.<\/p>\n

Inflation has slowed since spiking during Biden\u2019s first two years as president, but prices still remain nearly 20% higher than when he took office. Mortgage rates peaked over 8%, making it much more difficult for many Americans to afford to buy a home.<\/p>\n

Citing some of those concerns, The Center Square Voter\u2019s Voice poll also found that 67% of Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction, a tough statistic to overcome for the incumbent president. The poll also found the majority of Americans disapprove of Biden\u2019s handling of the economy, which is consistently a top issue for voters of both parties.<\/p>\n

The poll was conducted in conjunction with Noble Predictive Insights and surveyed 2,573 Americans from Jan. 2-4, roughly even number of Republicans and Democrats as well as 266 \u201ctrue independents,\u201d which are independents who indicated they do not lean toward either party. The poll has a margin of error of about 2%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
