2024 Presidential Race: Dead Heat Between Biden and Trump
The Race to the White House: A Toss-Up
With the 2024 presidential election inching closer, the much-anticipated rematch between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden is neck-and-neck, according to a recent nationwide poll by Suffolk University and USA Today.
The poll conducted among registered voters revealed that both Biden and Trump stand at 37% support, leaving the race essentially too close to call. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the former Democrat who has since declared his candidacy as an independent, garnered 8% of support, and other third-party candidates received 5%.
Biden’s Stall and Trump’s Surge
The Suffolk poll is the second in a row to indicate an extremely tight contest. An ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday had Trump leading among adults by 46% to 44%, while Biden held a slight edge among registered voters (46% to 45%) and likely voters (49% to 45%).
This signals a stark shift from earlier polls, which generally showed Biden with a modest lead. David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, attributes this to several factors, including voter fatigue and economic concerns.
The Battleground State Factor
While national polls provide a snapshot of the race, the ultimate outcome will be determined by electoral votes in swing states. Recent polling in these key battlegrounds, including surveys by LA News Center, indicate tight races, mirroring the national divide.
With less than six months to Election Day, both Biden and Trump will need to mobilize their bases and sway undecided voters. The stakes are high, and every vote will count in the race that could potentially change the course of American politics.

As the campaign intensifies, it’s crucial for voters to stay engaged and informed. Stay tuned to LA News Center for the latest updates, exclusive interviews, and comprehensive coverage of the 2024 presidential race.
