(DCNF)—Ten percent of President Joe Biden’s 2020 voters now back former President Donald Trump, a new poll found.
While 97 percent of voters who cast their ballot for Trump in 2020 still plan to vote for him, Biden is only attracting 83 percent of his previous voters, according to a New York Times and Siena College poll. Trump has a five-point lead overall, ranking ahead of Biden 48% to 43%, the poll shows.
Just 36% of voters say they approve or strongly approve of how Biden is handling his job as president, with 43% of voters saying they think his policies have hurt them personally.
Trump has earned voters from blocs that traditionally vote Democrat, according to the NYT. Women are equally split between Trump and Biden, while Trump gained a lead among Latinos, according to the NYT.
The NYT/Siena College poll surveyed 980 voters nationwide between Feb. 25 to 28, 2024 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for registered voters.
Another recent Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey found the majority of voters in seven key battleground states blame Biden and Democrats for the border crisis.
In the Michigan Democratic primary on Tuesday, Biden received just over 80% support, which some analysts and consultants said is a “warning” sign and indication there is “not a lot of enthusiasm” for Biden among Democrats.
Around 23% of Democratic primary voters surveyed in the NYT/Siena College poll said they were enthusiastic about Biden, while 48% of Republicans said they were enthusiastic about Trump being the nominee.
The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Retirement Clarity Starts With One Step
In a world where financial markets fluctuate wildly and economic uncertainties loom large, achieving clarity in your retirement planning can feel like an elusive dream. But what if the path to a secure future begins with just one decisive step?
That step is choosing to take control of your retirement accounts by partnering with a trustworthy company to establish a self-directed IRA. This simple yet powerful move empowers you to break free from conventional constraints and steer your financial destiny with confidence.
Traditional retirement accounts, often tied to stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, are rooted in strategies that have not evolved much since the mid-20th century. These default options are typically designed with the advisor’s interests in mind—think high management fees, limited investment choices, and a one-size-fits-all approach that prioritizes institutional profits over your personalized needs.
Advisors benefit from ongoing commissions and asset-based charges, while retirees are left navigating a system that may not align with modern economic realities or individual risk tolerances. It’s no wonder so many feel trapped in a cycle of underwhelming performance and hidden costs.
Enter the self-directed IRA: a game-changer that puts you firmly in the driver’s seat. By working with a reliable partner experienced in self-directed accounts, you gain the freedom to explore a broader range of investment opportunities beyond the standard fare. This includes alternatives assets like physical precious metals, allowing for true diversification tailored to your vision.
The real advantage lies in the tangible control it offers—decide where your money goes, when to pivot, and how to optimize for tax advantages inherent in IRAs. No more relying on outdated models that favor the financial industry; instead, you’re building a portfolio that reflects your goals, whether that’s growth, stability, or legacy planning.
The beauty of this approach is its simplicity and accessibility. A trustworthy partner handles the administrative complexities, ensuring compliance with IRS regulations while you focus on strategy. This isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about reclaiming agency in an era where passive investing often leads to passive results. Retirees who make this shift report greater peace of mind, knowing their nest egg is working harder for them, not for someone else.
If retirement clarity has felt out of reach, start today with that one step. Connect with Augusta Precious Metals and unlock the potential of true financial independence. Your future self will thank you.
