In an opinion poll conducted by Fabrizio and Lee – of 600 likely voters in the 5 battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – in a hypothetical matchup between Biden and Trump – the 45th President, Donald Trump would win in all five contests!
The opinion polls recorded strongest Trump support against Biden in Michigan 53%-41% and the closest in Georgia of 3% points, 48%-45% in favour of Trump
On key issues – Trump was seen as the best candidate in ALL categories below
Data just covering the widest margins

- Rebuild the economy – Trump 57%-36% (Wisconsin)
- Rebuild nations infrastructure – 50% – 39% Trump (Arizona)
Whilst the poll did not ask the importance of each issue to the likely voter – what is most interesting is that on the issues where Biden and the Democrats historically score well
“Protect social security and Medicare” – Biden was losing in 4 of the 5 key states
On rebuild the nation’s infrastructure – the trillion dollar “spend now / pay later” plan that Biden is pushing through in Washington, the clear message from this electorate sample – was that they would have more faith if Donald J Trump would be executing this plan rather than the incumbent President
So, one year on from the chaotic 2020 Presidential election – the present message is clear – we want President Trump back.
