Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden in a head-to-head matchup as the general election begins, an Ipsos/Reuters survey shows.
The survey showed Trump leading Biden by six points in a general election matchup — 40 percent to Biden’s 34 percent support. According to Reuters, those results were positive for Trump, as the previous survey released early January showed Trump and Biden tied.
Further, the inclusion of third-party candidates did not affect Trump’s national lead, as he continued to lead Biden by six-points even with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. included. In that scenario, Trump led with 36 percent support, compared to 30 percent for Biden and eight percent for Kennedy.
