Is Biden's flailing campaign turning around? Joe is now closing the gap with Trump in states that will decide the nail-biting election in 2024, new poll shows

Finally there is some good news for Joe Biden's reelection campaign. 

After months of polls showing Donald Trump with a narrow but steady lead over his Democratic rival, a poll published Tuesday suggests Biden is rallying support in the swing states that will decide the 2024 election.

It may not be enough yet to overhaul the presumptive Republican nominee's overall advantage, but the Bloomberg/Morning Consult survey shows Biden winning a bump in his numbers after a State of the Union address that was broadly well received.

The shift was most marked in Blue Wall states. In Wisconsin, Biden leads Trump by one point after overturning last month's four-point deficit.

In Pennsylvania, Trump's six-point lead has been wiped out. The candidates are now tied after Trump held a six-point lead last month. 

Trump maintains his overall lead over Biden across the seven swing states, but Biden is eating into his advantage across six of them

They are also now tied in Michigan. 

Doubts about Biden's advanced age—he would be 86 at the end of a second term—and recent economic woes meant his reelection got off to a stuttering start.

Towards the end of last year Trump opened a small lead in hypothetical match-up polls. 

But Biden campaign officials insisted it was too early to panic. 

The latest poll surveyed 4,932 registered voters across seven swing states. The field work was conducted after Biden followed his State of the Union address with a tour of swing states and sharpened his attacks on Trump. 

It found that plans to increase taxes for billionaires are popular with swing state voters. And the overall results show Biden chipping away at Trump's lead in the states that matter most.

He reduced his deficits in Arizona (to five points), Nevada (two points) and North Carolina (six points). 

But Trump added to his lead in the seventh state, Georgia (seven points). 

And he holds a lead across all seven states when the numbers are combined. He has 47 percent to Biden's 43 percent, with a one-point margin of error.

The poll also found that Biden voters were strongly motivated by the thought of Trump gaining power. 

When asked if their support for Trump or Biden was more a vote for their chosen candidate or against the other one, a gap emerged.

Fewer than three in 10 Trump supporters said theirs was a vote against Biden. However, nearly half of Biden voters said theirs was a vote against Trump. 

In Wisconsin, for example, where Biden leads, six in 10 of his supporters said their vote was a vote against Trump.

'Negative energy motivates people,' said Eli Yokley, US politics analyst for Morning Consult. 

'And the people who are supporting Joe Biden today are much more likely to express that negative energy that energized his 2020 campaign.'

Poll fieldwork began on March 8, the day after the State of the Union. A snap survey for DailyMail.com with a panel of 60 voters found an overall positive view of the address.

And more than a third of voters said they had seen positive news about Biden recently, the highest level since polling began in October. 

At the same time, 68 percent of registered voters in the swing states said they favored higher taxes on billionaires, and higher income taxes on people making more than $400,000 a year.

During the State of the Union, Biden proposed a 25 percent federal tax on billionaires, saying it was raise $500 billion. 'Just think of what that could do for America,' he said. 

On Tuesday, Biden and his vice president are due in North Carolina for a campaign event promoting their heath care agenda.

It is part of a recent acceleration in election related travel, which has included fundraising trips to California and New York, as well as events to highlight different planks of the campaign.
