The new polls, released Monday morning, found Trump leading Biden among likely voters in a head-to-head matchup in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and Georgia, with all but the latter two results within the margin of the error. Biden led narrowly among likely voters in Michigan, also within the margin of error.
The surveys also found that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the anti-vaccine activist attempting to mount a nationwide independent campaign, drew a similar level of support from both Biden and Trump. Kennedy has officially made the ballot in Michigan and is attempting to do so in other key states too. The poll results largely resembled previous Times-Siena polling and other polls from last fall that found Trump with a narrow advantage, suggesting that a rush of recent campaign developments — including Trump and Biden officially locking up their parties’ nominations, a massive Biden ad campaign in swing states, and the start of Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York — may not have had a significant effect in the polls.
The polls surveyed a total of nearly 4,100 voters across the 6 states from April 28-May 9. The margin of error for each state ranged from plus or minus 3.6 to 4.6 percentage points.
