Donald Trump Stung by Double Polling Blow

Two polls have suggested Donald Trump will lose the presidential election, in the latest swing in what has been a tight race so far.
In March, the former leader and the incumbent President Joe Biden won enough primary races to secure, respectively, the Republican and Democratic nominations in the 2024 presidential election. Polls have so far shown that the results will be tight as the pair are statistically tied in most surveys or enjoying only marginal leads.
However, two recent polls have suggested Trump is now lagging, marginally. In one poll of 1,046 adults by Florida Atlantic University and Mainstreet Research, 40 percent of all voters said they would vote for Biden and 38 percent would choose Trump in a race in which independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was included.
When only likely voters were polled, 44 percent said they would vote for Biden and 39 percent for Trump.
