In a surprising turn, even in Nevada where Trump has never previously won, he is currently ahead of Biden by a slim margin. Independent voters in most of the swing states also seem to favor Trump over Biden, further solidifying his position as a popular choice among a wide range of voters.
The top concerns for Nevada voters, according to the poll, include the economy, housing affordability, immigration, education, and health care. Notably, issues that Democrats often prioritize, like threats to democracy and abortion access, ranked lower in importance among voters.
Overall, the poll suggests that the presidential race in these swing states remains highly competitive, with Trump enjoying a consistent edge over Biden. This continued support for Trump showcases his enduring popularity and underscores the challenge Biden faces in winning over crucial swing state voters.
