Biden Has Lost Little Swing-State Support Following First Debate
Biden holds an advantage over Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin
SWING-STATE ANALYSIS : KEY TAKEAWAYS:
* While the first 2024 presidential debate appeared to alarm some Democratic leaders, our surveys of swing-state for Bloomberg News show the matter has done little to change the underlying dynamics of the contest.
* In the aggregate, Biden continues to underperform Trump among each candidates respective 2020 voters and their own party bases, while the two presumptive nominees are splitting independent voters almost evenly.
* Within the individual states, Biden leads former President Donald Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin, cementing several months of slightly improved performance, but has no advantage in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
