New surveys by Emerson College Polling/The Hill reveal former President Trump leading President Biden in seven crucial battleground states, though the margins are slim and within each poll’s margin of error.

Trump maintains slight leads in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The inclusion of undecided voters leaning towards a candidate slightly boosts Trump’s lead in some states.

Third-party candidates impact support differently across states. Both candidates have secured their party’s presumptive nomination, setting the stage for a rematch.

Recent polls show a tight race, with Trump holding a slight edge in polling averages, The Hill reported.

The introduction of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alters dynamics, though new polling suggests third-party candidates might affect Trump more negatively.

Amidst the electoral landscape, Trump faces a criminal trial related to a hush money payment, with voters split on its appropriateness and its potential impact on Trump’s 2024 prospects.

The surveys conducted by Emerson College Polling/The Hill each polled 1,000 registered voters with a credibility interval of plus or minus 3 percent and were conducted from April 25-29.
