According to a new Fox News poll, Donald Trump is showing strong performance in states that haven’t typically trended in the Republican Party’s favor. This is despite the extensive media coverage of his recent legal troubles. In Virginia, a traditionally-blue state, Trump and Biden are currently tied. Biden won this state by over 10 points in the 2020 election. Additionally, in Nevada, a typically Democrat-favoring state, Trump is leading by 5 points. Voters in Nevada overwhelmingly believe that the former president is better equipped to handle the border crisis.
The poll also shows significant challenges for Biden’s re-election prospects. One notable finding is the lack of a significant age gap in voter support. Young voters, who typically support the Democrats, are split evenly between the two candidates, showing a shift in support. Additionally, there is a decline in the black vote for Biden, a key demographic that historically leans Democrat.

In Nevada, Trump is also gaining support from minority groups and union households, despite being traditionally Democrat-leaning. These factors, combined with Trump’s strong performance on issues such as border security and the economy, contribute to his current lead in this swing state. Furthermore, Biden’s approval rating in Nevada is 16 points below water, indicating challenges for the incumbent president.
These poll results suggest that the recent legal proceedings against Trump have not significantly impacted voters’ views of the former president. Despite the media’s extensive coverage of the case, the polling data indicates that Trump’s support remains strong in key states. This poses significant challenges for the Biden campaign and may require them to allocate substantial resources to defend these states in the upcoming election.
The gravity of the 2024 election was underscored by former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who warned of uncertainties surrounding the upcoming election. This emphasizes the importance of citizen engagement and support for candidates aligned with American values.
