Former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden in the polls for the November elections, with Republicans maintaining their lead even with the addition of third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
A May 15-19 Harvard/Harris poll showed that if the 2024 election were held now, President Trump would gain 47 percent of the votes, nine percentage points more than Biden’s 36 percent. With RFK Jr. in the mix, the lead narrows to eight percent. Another poll by Echelon Insights showed President Trump topping the race with 49 percent support, a three percentage point lead over President Biden. When RFK Jr. is added to the race, the GOP candidate’s lead expands to five percent.
