What do the numbers say?
The poll results show Biden trails Trump by three points (51% to 48%) in a national head-to-head match-up. Moreover, the ex-president was preferred by between four and 10% more respondents in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan—five key states that helped him defeat the Republican in 2020.
The Trump campaign rushed to make a statement following the poll data, pointing out that one year from today, the Americans “will fire Crooked Joe Biden and hire President Donald Trump to Make America Great Again”.
On the other hand, the Biden campaign chose to put on a brave face, saying that “predictions more than a year out tend to look a little different a year later” and referencing the polling challenges of Biden’s former boss Barack Obama before his 2012 presidential election win. In other words, even though Biden trails Trump, this can’t change in a year.
The campaign spokesman, Kevin Munoz, stated that the current president’s campaign works hard to reach and mobilize the diverse, winning coalition of voters one year out. He pointed out that they will win in 2024 by doing the work and putting their heads down, “not by fretting about a poll”.

I do believe as am sure others do, if someone is dealing with criminal charges they should not be allowed to run for any elected office.
