2024 Presidential Race: Biden Trails Trump in National Polls, But Debate Could Swing Momentum

Who's Ahead in the National Polls?

According to the latest 270toWin Polling Average, former President Donald Trump currently holds a slight lead over President Joe Biden in the national polls. However, this lead is within the margin of error, and could easily be reversed before the November election.

Biden's Debate Performance Could Be Key

One potential game-changer in the race is the upcoming presidential debate. Biden has been trailing in the polls since taking office, but a strong performance in the debate could help him regain some lost ground. Conversely, a poor performance by Biden could further damage his chances of re-election.

The debate is scheduled to take place on September 29, 2024. It will be the first time that Biden and Trump have faced off in a head-to-head debate since the 2020 election.
