A new round of polling in seven key swing states bodes poorly for President Joe Biden, indicating that he trails former President Donald Trump in every single one.

The surveys tested how Biden would perform against the Republican frontrunner — whom Biden defeated in the 2020 election — and found that Trump would beat him in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Across all of the aforementioned swing states, Trump leads Biden 47%-42% according to a poll of 4,935 registered voters.

A greater proportion of voters trusts the former president more than the incumbent on the economy (51%-33%), immigration (49%-32%), U.S.-China relations (47%-33%), the war between Russia and Ukraine (45%-34%), the war between Israel and Hamas (44%-33%), and guns (44%-35%). Biden boasts advantages over Trump on healthcare (41%-39%), entitlements (42%-40%), abortion (39%-36%), democracy (42%-39%), and climate change (42%-30%).

The shocking results come on the heels of a national Wall Street Journal survey that found that Trump would top Biden by 4 points in a hypothetical rematch between the two, but would trail Biden by one if he were to be convicted in one of the four ongoing criminal cases against him.

Notably, Trump would not necessarily even have to win the popular vote in order to prevail in next year’s general election. Biden won the popular vote in 2020 by 4.5% and even won the Electoral College by over 70 votes. But it was only his razor-thin margins of victory in several swing states, including Georgia (.23%), Pennsylvania (1.17%), Arizona (.30%), and Wisconsin (.63%) that ultimately propelled Biden to victory.
