https://newsmax.com/newsfront/swing-states-trump-biden/2023/07/05/id/1126097/Donald Trump holds a 7-point lead over President Joe Biden in key swing states, according to an Echelon Poll released Wednesday.
A full 48% of respondents in swing states said they would probably or definitely vote for Trump, compared with 41% who said they would pick Biden, though Biden is still narrowly favored overall by likely voters, 43%-42%.
Trump's lead in swing states is further solidified when Green Party candidate Cornel West is involved, with 48% of respondents saying they would pick the former president compared with 40% for Biden.
The report comes as Trump's 2024 presidential campaign pulled in more than $35 million in the second quarter of fundraising this year, nearly double what the former president raised in the first quarter and since he was indicted on charges he mishandled classified document.
An NBC poll conducted June 16-20 found that Trump had expanded his lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 51% to 22%, and the rest of the Republican presidential field.
"For the first time in history, a former president has been indicted, and we can't find a marker in this survey that it's had an impact with his standing," said Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, who conducted the survey with Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates.
"Not only are they sticking with Trump post-federal indictment," Horwitt said of Republican voters, "there are several signs that his support is growing or others are losing ground, particularly Ron DeSantis."
