Former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in a head-to-head matchup poll in several swing states, including Arizona.
A Morning Consult poll among registered voters shows Trump with 46% and Biden with 42%. Their numbers are the same in Michigan and similar in Wisconsin. But Trump leads Biden by 9% in North Carolina, 6% in Georgia and 3% in Nevada. However, Trump only leads Biden by 2% in Pennsylvania. The margins of error in polls range from 3-5% and asked at least 437 people per state from October to December.
"I mean within that margin of error, especially that 4%, especially in Arizona, definitely don't take anything for granted," Arizona state Rep. Austin Smith, R-Wittmann, told The Center Square. "I think the trajectory of the state political landscape changed a little bit since 2020, obviously in 2022 as well. But Republicans and the Trump campaign shouldn't take anything for granted."
Trump still has to clear the Republican field to secure the nomination. Most national and early state polling indicates that he is significantly ahead of his opponents, which include former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
