New poll reveals Trump is pulling away in ALL battleground states as enthusiasm gap widens between voters
- Post-debate poll shows Trump ahead by 3 percent in all seven swing states

Donald Trump has a three-point edge over Joe Biden across the seven battleground states for the 2024 presidential election.
Following a debate widely assessed as a disaster for President Biden, the former president is now seeing a bump with just four months until Election Day in November.
Biden's campaign tried to get ahead of bad polling and downplay any future dip, writing last week: 'It will not be the first time that overblown media narratives have driven temporary dips in the polls.'
Half of respondents who voted for Biden in 2020 now tell CBS News/YouGov polling they don't think he should be running for reelection this year and claim they are less likely to turn out in November.
Nationally, Trump is ahead by two points, but in the much more consequential swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin the former president's advantage grows to three percent, which is outside the poll's 2.3 percent margin of error.

Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin all voted red in 2016 and flipped to vote blue for Biden in 2020.
Nevada voted Democrat in both elections but is considered a toss-up this year, and North Carolina voted Republican in the last two presidential races but is also a battleground in this election.
The winner this year will come down to how the electoral college votes are attributed in these seven states.
And it's not just preference for the candidates, but enthusiasm is also lacking on the left.
After the debate, Democrats say they are less likely than right-leaning voters to show up to vote in the general election.
A whopping 90 percent of Republican voters say they 'definitely' will vote in the November 5 election, while 81 percent of Democrats say the same.
Only 71 percent of independent voters say they are for sure coming out to cast their ballots in the fall.

Overall, 69 percent of registered voters don't think the 81-year-old president should be running for reelection, according to the poll.
Even before polls were coming out showing a dire message to Biden after he stumbled through the CNN debate in Atlanta, his campaign was downplaying any dip.
Biden's campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon wrote: 'On every metric that matters, data shows it did nothing to change the American people's perception, our supporters are more fired up than ever, and Donald Trump only reminded voters of why they fired him four years ago and failed to expand his appeal beyond his MAGA base.'
'If we do see changes in polling in the coming weeks, it will not be the first time that overblown media narratives have driven temporary dips in the polls,' she added.
