Former President Donald Trump has thwarted President Joe Biden‘s momentum in six key swing states as concerns about the economy persist.
In a Bloomberg-Morning Consult poll released Wednesday, Trump holds leads over Biden in six of seven swing states. Trump’s leads in Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are larger than in last month’s survey from the same pollster. He also leads in Georgia and trails Biden in only one of the swing states surveyed: Michigan.
Trump’s largest lead over Biden is in North Carolina — the only of the surveyed states that he won in 2020. There, he has a 51%-41% lead. The former president also holds a 51%-43% lead over Biden in Nevada and a 49%-42% lead in Arizona.
Since the last survey from the pollster in March, Trump turned a 45%-45% tie into a 47%-46% lead in Pennsylvania, and he turned Biden’s 46%-45% lead in Wisconsin into a 48%-44% advantage in April.
The poll showed Biden losing ground in Georgia, where his lead is down by 1 percentage point month-to-month, to a 49%-43% advantage, and in Michigan, where he dropped by 2 percentage points month-to-month and is trailing Biden 47%-45%.
The poll released Wednesday upholds the trend this cycle of the former president leading or staying competitive in several of the critical battleground states, in contrast to polls four years ago that showed Biden leading Trump in nearly every swing state.

Trump and Biden have both made several recent visits to North Carolina, but Biden campaign officials have also said the president can win Florida, which the Cook Political Report has rated as “likely Republican.”
The president made a trip to the Sunshine State on Tuesday, touting his stance on abortion in contrast to the six-week abortion law, which is slated to go into effect next week. Florida is Trump’s home state and has seen sweeping GOP wins in recent years after being considered one of the key battleground states in recent decades.
