Former President Trump is leading President Biden in head-to-head hypotheticals in both Arizona and Nevada, polling released Thursday shows.
A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey found 46 percent of Arizona voters support Trump when pitted in a one-on-one match-up with Biden, while 43 percent back the incumbent. Another 12 percent were undecided.
In Nevada, an Emerson College Polling/KLAS-TV/The Hill survey found Trump leading by 6 points — with 46 percent of voters in the state supporting the former president and 40 percent backing Biden. Fourteen percent were undecided.
As Biden and Trump both appear poised to win their respective party presidential nominations, the polls signal a close race in key battleground states.
With independent candidates added into the mix, Trump’s lead over Biden in Arizona jumps from 3 to 6 points — and climbs in Nevada from 6 to 10 points.
Adding independents into the Silver State race, 44 percent picked Trump and 34 percent picked Biden, with another 6 percent backing Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and 1 percent picking Cornel West and Jill Stein apiece. Another 13 percent were undecided.
Over in Arizona, Biden has a slight edge among independent voters, a key voting group in the state, noted Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. The female vote in the Grand Canyon State was notably split between the current and former presidents, with 44 percent each.
Trump has long held onto front-runner status in the Republican race, though he faces a lone major challenger in Nikki Haley, who has promised to stay in the race at least until Super Tuesday, March 5. Meanwhile, Biden has bested his long-shot Democratic challengers and looks poised to secure his party nod.
