Amid the intense scrutiny over whether Democrat President Joe Biden is mentally and physically fit for a second term, he appears to be losing ground in the Democratic stronghold New York – which hasn't voted in favor of a GOP presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
Polls over the past four months show presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has cut Biden’s lead to just 8 points across New York, where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-to-1.
Meanwhile, Trump has a single-digit lead in essentially every battleground state – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – according to the most-recent RealClearPolitics.com poll average. So any victory in a blue state, include New York with 28 electoral votes, would widen Trump's path to victory.
Despite the Democrats’ winning streak in New York, Trump has set his sights on winning his former home state and begun campaigning there and in New Jersey.
