Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich joined “Fox & Friends” Wednesday to argue that President Biden is in trouble in his looming rematch with former President Trump. Gingrich said economic worries and inflation are hurting Biden with independents, while the Israel-Hamas war fuels resentment on the far left.
Voters in a new poll who favored President Biden by 10 points in 2020 have shifted their support to former President Donald Trump, who now leads among the same voters by five points.
The poll, which was conducted by the New York Times and Siena College from Feb. 25 to 28, shows Trump with a 48-43 edge over Biden, a slightly larger lead than two-point edge the former president held in the same poll when it was conducted in December.
The lead comes despite many of the registered voters sampled indicating they voted for Biden in 2020, with 44% of respondents saying they voted for the president in the last election, compared to 33% who indicated they voted for Trump.
The latest inflation numbers released by the Labor Department showed an unexpected rise for February.
