A new poll finds that Joe Biden would have a bigger victory over former President Donald Trump than he did in 2020 if a head-to-head matchup took place today.
The survey, conducted by WPA Intelligence, reveal that Biden, currently 80 years old, leads Trump, aged 76, with 47% to 40% support. To put this into perspective, in the 2020 popular vote, Biden defeated Trump by a margin of 4.5 percentage points, while in the 2012 election, former President Barack Obama secured re-election with a 3.9 percentage point lead over Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
Independents would also go heavily for Biden, with the sitting president carrying a 14-point lead over Trump among independent voters – 5 points higher than his margin in 2020.
Despite the positive news for Biden, the poll still finds that he is vulnerable in next year’s presidential election. Just 46% of Americans approve of Biden’s job performance while 54% disapprove, and just 39% of registered voters have a favorable view of Biden.

In most polls Trump is still ahead of biden. Even the one that shows biden ahead is only the populer vote but Trump id still expected to win the Electoral vote by far. Sorry ywn. Do your math homework.
The survey by The Washington Post and ABC News found that the president’s approval rating has slipped to 36 percent and that Mr. Trump would beat him by 44 percent to 38 percent if the election were held today. Just as worrisome for Democrats, respondents considered Mr. Trump, 76, more physically and mentally fit than Mr. Biden, 80, and concluded that the former president managed the economy better than the incumbent has.
Fake news !
BS
2 things:
1) its fake polls
2) if its not fake polls then I guess we will be getting used to living amongst illegals and criminals.
looks like we haven’t learnt our lesson yet

Wow. If the margins were so close in the previous elections and in these new Polls it is more than double practically, I’m starting to get the feeling that there’s a joke involved here. Because YWN has a reputation of being anti-Trump and I believe they found the least reliable source to post whatever could be anti-trump because if you look at every other poll, and every other station, Biden has no shot. YWN, just tell us already who is paying you off to be anti-Trump. Because if you believe in the Republican values, there’s not much you could argue with Mr. Trump. And if anything executes, the Republican values better than anybody else we’ve had.
And by the way, even if you do support Ron DeSantis and believe that he could execute the Republican values, he has never proved it on the presidential level yet, so there is no reason necessarily for you to not back Trump and even more so believe in Biden more. YWN your so ridiculous
Not according to the RCP average. Maybe learn some critical reading skills and not just copy and paste from AP.
If that is correct (which it probably isn’t, most polling favors the Democrats since the person answering the poll perceives the pollster as “blue” and wants to give a “right” answer), Biden is in very big trouble, since Trump is likely to retire and the Republicans are likely to unite behind someone who can smash Biden.
what s bunch of nonsense!! Trump is much much much more ahead of that fool in the white house! so don’t make silly comments
It is really ridiculous to take polls at this point and think they mean something. I still have a hard time believing that so many people think Biden is right for the job and if they vote for him because they hate Trump, then this country gets what it deserves. People can’t see the economy, the border crisis, the insane wokeness that is infecting government agencies?
If you’re going to struggle in life, it’s better to do so living in Israel. Make alliyah.
If that isn’t the biggest load of dog poop I’ve heard today, I don’t know what is. What’s with Yeshiva world? What made you decide to go on the anti-Trump train? He was nothing but good to the Jews in America and in Israel. And you’re pushing for the tottering old bag of bones Biden, who doesn’t even know what he ate for breakfast most days. The country is a disgusting mess with Biden/dems at the helm, if you can’t see that, you are as stupid as the legacy media.
Why is YWN so against Trump?
Wake up woked news YWN! Quit Lying. News to y’all not to bear false witness ? Shakranim!!
Every poll shows Trump ahead by double digits. What makes you so anti Trump if life in America & globally was so much better under Trump? Your dishonesty as an editor of YW is very disconcerting especially when you are apparently misinforming for someone whose policies are destroying our Country & whose administration is hardly positive toward Israel. Trying to understand.
Moderators Note: Gloria, clearly you missed every one of those polls that YWN published. YWN publishes all polls, the ones that make Trump as Moshiach, and the ones that make Trump look like a loser.
There is a search box for a reason at the top of the website. It pays to check the facts before firing off a blatantly false accusation, and not suffer from “selective reading”.
What is it that makes you literally print Fake News when it comes to Trump? Every poll shows him ahead by double digits and Biden sinking and, yet you choose to print otherwise. Just curious to know what was so bad in America and for Israel under Trump and so great for America under Biden’s America last policies that you seem to relish the thought of having Biden? We had energy independence, minimal inflation, border control, U.S dominance in the world, working Abraham Accords , Russia at bay, no wars. Is it the out of control border crisis & millions of illegals on taxpayer $ , lawlessness, inflation, lost 402 retirements, energy shutdown fentanyl, cartel overtake, out of control inflation, mandates, woke education, supply shortage, excessive spending, weaponized FBI, DOJ, or CIA, compromised Biden with China, Russia crisis , stripping of parental rights, incessant false accusations & investigations of Trump, January 6th schemes, American degradation across the world, Iran, Russia & China unity, Antifa & other national terrorist groups & all the myriad of lies to the American people. In dilemma about you as an editor of YW which is supposed to be advocating for our best interests; why would you be spreading fake news to boost Biden?
