President Joe Biden has retaken the lead against his presumptuous 2024 Republican challenger Donald Trump in a new survey.
A Morning Consult Poll released Tuesday showed that Biden with a narrow 43 to 42 percent lead over Trump in a hypothetical 2024 race, with 11 percent of respondents stating they would vote for "someone else" and 5 percent still undecided.
The latest poll of 6,527 registered voters was conducted between November 24 and 26, and arrives after a previous Morning Consult survey conducted between November 18 and 20 revealed Biden was trailing Trump by four points when people were asked who they would vote for in the 2024 race. The four-point lead Biden has managed to claw back from Trump in a matter of days was the largest deficit recorded for the president since Morning Consult began its daily tracking of the White House race in December 2022.
In a press conference on the day of Biden's 81st birthday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said people should be concentrating on the president's record, rather than the polls.
"What we say is we have to judge him by what he's done, not by his numbers," Jean-Pierre said. "I would put the president's stamina, the president's wisdom, ability to get this done on behalf of the American people, against anyone," she added.
