American voters are broadly skeptical that President Joe Biden is mentally fit to serve a second term, and most do not think his potential general election rival Donald Trump is mentally fit either, according to a Quinnipiac University poll published Wednesday. Sixty-four percent of respondents in the poll said Biden was mentally unfit for another term, a bleak data point for the president in a survey where he nonetheless outperformed his topline numbers in many other polls. Fifty-one percent of voters told the pollster they did not think Trump was mentally fit for a second term on Pennsylvani......

President Joe Biden grabbed a 6% lead over Trump in a national poll released Wednesday even as a survey of battleground states painted a gloomier picture of his reelection prospects. Biden leads Trump 50% to 44% in their likely presidential election rematch, according to the new Quinnipiac University poll. The survey showed a significant shift toward Biden since a December poll that placed the two candidates as virtually deadlocked. The fresh lead was powered primarily by a growing gender gap as women moved strongly into Biden’s camp. Women backed Biden by a 22-point margin, up from 12 points ......

DETROIT — The closely watched race for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat is starting the election year as a "toss-up," with no candidate in command of a significant lead and a slew of independent voters who are undecided, a new statewide poll shows.

DETROIT — President Joe Biden's support is on shaky ground in Michigan, and he trails Republican Donald Trump by 8 percentage points in a head-to-head matchup 10 months before the Nov. 5 election, according to a new statewide poll commissioned by The Detroit News and WDIV-TV. The survey of 600 likely general election voters in the battleground state found only 17% said Biden, the Democratic incumbent, deserved another term leading the country. That number marked a low for a major public officeholder in modern Michigan political history, said Richard Czuba, founder of Lansing-based Glengariff G......

Both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump maintain strong leads in their respective races, while their challengers trail behind by double digits, indicating a 2020 rematch is likely, polls show. Here’s a look at how candidates are polling in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada — four states that hold primaries or caucuses in January or February.

NEW YORK — More than seven out of ten city residents believe Mayor Eric Adams “did something wrong” in his dealings with Turkey during his 2021 mayoral run, according to a new Marist poll released Tuesday. The poll found 72% of city residents think Adams did something untoward in connection with Turkey and that Adams’ job approval rating has taken a dive, with 54% of New Yorkers now disapproving of his performance and only 37% approving. The new results mark a steep decline in public opinion for the mayor. In a separate March 2022 poll, 61% of people who responded to that survey approved of Ad......
