President Biden has just a nine-point edge over Donald Trump in a new poll of deep-blue New York, a state he won by 23 points in 2020, according to a new Siena College survey.
Biden, 80, had enjoyed a 21-point lead over the Republican front-runner in a September poll by the upstate college, but a new poll released Tuesday found the Democratic incumbent was only ahead by 46% to 37% in a head-to-head matchup against Trump, 77.
His lead further shrank to seven points over Trump — who is accused of 91 felonies — when third-party candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornell West were added to the equation, the survey found.
Biden’s diminished lead is less than a third of his margin of victory in 2020, when he beat Trump 61% to 38% in the Empire State.
