Quote of the Day
“The findings are mostly unchanged since the last series of Times/Siena polls in battleground states in November. Since then, the stock market has gained 25 percent, [DONALD] TRUMP’s criminal trial in Manhattan has started, and the [JOE] BIDEN campaign has unleashed tens of millions of dollars in advertisements across the battleground states. The polls offer little indication that any of these developments have helped Mr. Biden, hurt Mr. Trump or quelled the electorate’s discontent.”
Trump leads Biden in five battleground states, as young voters yearn for change over the economy and the war in Gaza.
