<h2><strong>US Elections 2024: What is shaping voter preferences?</strong></h2>

<p>Economic concerns and immigration policies play a significant role in shaping voter preferences. According to the poll, 51 per cent of swing-state voters expressed greater trust in Trump to handle the US economy, with only 33 per cent favouring Biden in this regard.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On immigration, 52 per cent believed Trump's handling of the issue would be more adept, while 30 per cent leaned towards Biden.</p>

<p>However, a potential bright spot for Biden lies in the loyalty of voters, as 53 per cent in the battleground states claim they would be unwilling to support Trump in the general election if he were found guilty of a crime. Additionally, 55 per cent said they would not back him if he were sentenced to prison.</p>
