MOSCOW, March 3 — Forty-eight per cent of American voters are ready to vote for former US President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, scheduled for November 2024, while 43 per cent have expressed a desire to support incumbent US President Joe Biden, a poll conducted by The New York Times and the Siena College research organisation showed on Saturday.
The poll also showed Americans’ preferences based on their ethnicity. For example, 53 per cent of white respondents, 46 per cent of Hispanics, and only 23 per cent of black people are ready to vote for Trump, reported Sputnik.
Biden, on the contrary, received 66 per cent from black voters, but trailed his opponent in all other groups, receiving 40 per cent from white and Hispanic voters, the poll said.
At the same time, only 17 per cent of respondents “strongly approve” of Biden’s work, with 65 per cent of Americans believing that the United States is going in the wrong direction in its development.
The poll was conducted from February 25-28 and surveyed 980 people.
