In recent polls conducted by five major organizations including CBS News, CNN, Fox News, MarketWatch Law School, and Quinnipiac University, former President Trump led President Biden by a margin of 2 to 4 percentage points.

Although former President Trump’s lead was within the margin of error, it is unusual for an incumbent president to trail in all major polls.

The recent poll results showing former President Trump holding a slight but consistent lead have drawn attention.

President Biden’s policies supporting Israel, which is at war with the Palestinian armed group Hamas, have been criticized by progressive figures.

Additionally, President Biden’s age, 80, was cited as one of the main reasons for his lagging in the polls.

According to a poll released earlier this month by The New York Times and Siena College, 71% of voters in six states, including Georgia where Biden previously won, responded that he is too old to be an effective president.
