Former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden nationally — a lead which only increases when Green Party candidate Cornel West is in the mix, the latest Emerson College polling data found.
The survey found Trump leading Biden in a head-to-head matchup by two points, garnering 46 percent support to Biden’s 44 percent. In all, ten percent remain undecided. However, Trump’s lead increases to five points when West is added to the mix, with 44 percent supporting Trump and Biden’s support dropping to 39 percent. In that scenario, four percent support West, and 13 percent are undecided.
