Former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden by 4 points nationally, according to a 2024 general election poll released Thursday.
Support for Trump was measured at 49%, while 45% of registered voters said they would back Biden in November, the CNN poll conducted by SSRS found.
Only 5% of people surveyed said they would vote for someone other than Trump or Biden.
The topline results are identical to a November survey released by the outlet.
Support for the 81-year-old incumbent among people of color and those younger than age 35 – key voting blocs for Democrats – is also unmoved since last November, with 49% of young voters breaking for Biden and 46% supporting the 77-year-old former president.
Voters of color back Biden at a 57% clip, compared to Trump’s 35% support.
Biden’s 59% unfavorable rating remains higher than Trump’s 55%, according to the poll.
When asked if Biden “deserves to be re-elected,” 66% of voters responded, “No,” the survey found.
More voters – 27% – said they were “enthusiastic” about supporting Trump than the 11% who said the same about Biden.
Similarly, more Republican-aligned voters indicated that they were “extremely motivated” to head to the polls in November than Democrat-aligned voters – 63% to 58%, respectively.
The poll, conducted between Jan. 25 and Jan. 30, comes at a point in the GOP primary race where only former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is standing between Trump and the nomination.
Haley has finished behind Trump in both the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary and trails the former president by more than 30 points in the upcoming South Carolina primary.
However, the 52-year-old White House hopeful has a commanding 13-point edge over Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup.
Haley’s support registered at 52% compared to Biden’s 39%, the poll found.
The CNN polls follow a stunning Bloomberg News/ Morning Consult survey released Wednesday that showed Trump leading Biden in seven key swing states, six of which Biden won in 2020.
Trump is ahead of Biden by significant margins in North Carolina (49%-39%), Georgia (49%-41%) and Nevada (48%-40%), according to the poll.
The former president holds slimmer leads in Arizona (47%-44%), Michigan (47%-42%), Pennsylvania (48%-45%) and Wisconsin (49%-44%).
