President Biden has a significant lead over former President Donald Trump in the popular vote in a hypothetical showdown in 2024, a new national poll shows.
The Quinnipiac University poll shows that Biden leads Trump between 50% and 44%, after the incumbent in the same poll surpassed his rival, between 47% and 46%, in December.
Biden’s strong numbers are boosted by support from 58% of female voters, 52% of independents and 62% of voters with college degrees.
“Gender demographics tell a story to watch,” said Quinnipiac polling analyst Tim Malloy. “Boosted by female voters in recent weeks, the tie with Trump turns into a modest advantage for Biden.”
By contrast, Trump wins male voters with 53% support in that demographic, but only captures 40% of independents.
Biden still leads Trump if third-party candidates are introduced into the race.
In a five-person race, Biden receives 39%, Trump receives 37%, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. receives 14%, independent candidate Cornel West receives 3%, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 2%.

The 45th president leads Biden among Hispanic voters, obtaining 47% compared to the Democrat’s 45%. However, that is more than offset by Biden’s lead among black voters, where Trump has just 16% support.
The poll is a significant outlier in favor of Biden, who trails Trump by 47.1% to 44.6% in the RealClearPolitics polling data average.
Trump’s Republican rival, Nikki Haley, would defeat Biden in a hypothetical head-to-head race by five percentage points in the popular vote (47%-42%), but loses with the inclusion of third-party candidates, according to the poll.

In the same five-way race, Biden gets 36% support, Haley only gets 29%, RFK Jr. gets 21%, West comes in with 3%, and Stein gets 2%.
In the Republican race, 77% of national Republican and Republican-leaning voters support Trump, while 21% support Haley.
More than three-quarters (78%) of respondents said Trump would be a better leader than Haley, while 77% said he had better policy ideas.
On the Democratic side, Biden has 78% support for the nomination, with self-help author Marianne Williamson at 11% and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) at 6%.

The president’s job approval rating stands at 41%, the highest in the Quinnipiac poll since June 2023, while 55% disapprove of his performance while in office.
A majority of undeclared voters said they disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy (55%), foreign policy (58%), the southern border (65%) and the war between Israel and Hamas (58%).
