President Biden and former President Trump are tied in the latest national polling average of a hypothetical three-way general election race that includes independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
Biden and Trump are tied at 41.3 percent support, with Kennedy following at 7.7 percent, according to DDHQ’s average of 130 polls that asked respondents about a hypothetical three-way match-up in the 2024 general election.
Trump has consistently led Biden in the three-way hypothetical race since Nov. 8, when Biden briefly overtook Trump, 39.3 percent support to 39.1 percent. In December and into January, Trump maintained a statistically significant lead over Biden, but Biden began gaining on Trump early last month.
“Since President Biden gave his State of the Union speech in early March, we have seen him close the gap nationally to be tied with former President Trump for the first time since November 2023,” DDHQ’s Scott Tranter said.
