In what could signal a looming rematch between former President Trump and President Biden, recent polls in both Georgia and North Carolina show Trump with the edge over his Democratic rival.

According to an Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of Georgia voters, Trump leads Biden 48 percent to 42 percent, with 11 percent undecided. When third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are factored in, Trump maintains a lead with 45 percent to Biden’s 36 percent, with Kennedy at 6 percent and other candidates receiving minimal support.

Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, highlighted the racial divide in the Georgia poll, with Biden leading among Black voters and Trump leading among white voters.

Similarly, in North Carolina, another Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey shows Trump ahead of Biden by a narrow margin of 47 percent to 44 percent, with 10 percent undecided. When considering third-party candidates, Trump’s lead widens, with him at 46 percent, Biden at 37 percent, and Kennedy at 5 percent.

Kimball noted the age breakdown in the North Carolina poll, with younger voters favoring Biden while older voters lean towards Trump.

As speculation grows about a potential Trump-Biden rematch in the 2024 election, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley asserts her presence in the GOP primary race, dispelling rumors of withdrawal.

Both Georgia and North Carolina are expected to be pivotal battlegrounds in the upcoming election, with North Carolina showing a recent trend towards Republican dominance.

The surveys, conducted by Emerson College Polling/The Hill, involved 1,000 registered voters in both Georgia and North Carolina with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
