Bad news for Biden…
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report (CPR) has shifted two states towards Republicans in the latest sign of President Biden's weak poll numbers.
Nevada and Michigan now shift to join Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin as “toss up” states for next year's presidential race.
Biden won a majority in both states back in 2020, but the president “isn't performing any better either in job approval or in head-to-head matchups with Trump in those states than in the other battleground contests,” writes CPR's Editor-in-Chief Amy Walter.
In Nevada, CPR said Biden's “weak standing with Latino and younger voters has outsized repercussions.”
In Michigan, CPR notes Biden may have an unexpectedly difficult battle with the state's younger voters and its significant Arab American population as he faces division over the war in the Middle East.
According to the results of a recent Wall Street Journal poll, Trump leads Biden 47% to 43% in a hypothetical ballot between only those two candidates and leads 37% to 31% in a hypothetical ballot with five independent candidates.
