According to polls released between November 11 and 24 on the political website 'RealClearPolitics' as of the 27th (local time), Republican presidential candidate President Trump is trailing Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden in all battleground states including Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Arizona.


In Florida (6.8% support gap), Pennsylvania (6.3%), and Wisconsin (8%), former Vice President Biden leads President Trump by a wide margin. Biden also holds an advantage in North Carolina (2.4%) and Arizona (4%).


In the overall U.S. polling average, former Vice President Biden has 49.5% support, leading President Trump by 9.4 percentage points. President Trump's support is recorded at 40.1%.


Some polls even show former Vice President Biden leading President Trump by double digits, such as 14%, which is not uncommon.


Moreover, the dynamics in Ohio and Iowa, states where President Trump won decisively in the last election, have changed significantly, resulting in a close race. The issue is that former Vice President Biden has not invested significant resources in these areas, yet the situation has shifted.



Meanwhile, President Trump recently claimed an advantage by citing viewership ratings of his Fox News interview and campaign speeches in Oklahoma. He mentioned on Twitter, "Recent Fox News interview and Oklahoma campaign speech viewership ratings."
