From The Hill: Former President Trump is leading President Biden nationally and in seven battleground states, according to a new survey.
The Emerson College poll, sponsored by Democrats for the Next Generation and published Thursday, found 46 percent of registered voters say they support Trump, compared to 42 percent who chose Biden and 12 percent that are undecided. The pollster noted, however, that Biden’s support dipped by 2 points since the poll was taken earlier this month while Trump’s support stayed the same.
“Recent polling shows Biden losing support more significantly than Trump gaining it since the attempted assassination,” Spencer Kimball, director of Emerson College polling, said in a statement. “This raises questions about whether Biden’s decline is still influenced by the debate or if Trump has reached his support ceiling.”
In 2020, Biden was declared the winner in the swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia, and narrowly lost North Carolina.
Now, Trump leads Biden by 5 percentage points in the states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada and by 6 points in Georgia. He also has a 7-point lead in both North Carolina and Arizona, the report states. In Michigan, Trump is leading by 3 percentage points.
The survey was taken after the attempted assassination against Trump on Saturday.

Emerson shows ~7% drop for Biden across all battleground states vs 2020 and a ~2% drop for Trump.
Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin would flip to Trump in that environment. NE-02 would still go to Biden by 2%.
