Despite previous surveys showing that most Americans didn't want a redo of the 2020 presidential election, that's exactly what this country is getting.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump, for all intents and purposes, are the respective nominees of their political parties. Barring some major, unforeseen plot twist at the eleventh hour, the 2024 White House race will - yet again - see these two contenders facing off against each other.

Americans on both sides of the political spectrum have weighed in on whether they think Biden or Trump can win.

Some believe the incumbent president, despite polls showing considerable dissatisfaction with his job performance, will pull off another victory. Those with this mindset argue that whatever grievances voters may have with Biden, they simply dislike Trump even more.

Others feel that polls showing Trump either slightly leading Biden or in dead heat with him are indicators that Trump could return for another White House tenure come January 2025.

Amid all the speculation, a new poll from the New York Times/Sienna shows Biden and Trump virtually tied with each other.

The latest presidential poll that has Americans talking

This past weekend, the poll surveying nationwide voters has Biden standing at 45%, whereas Trump carries 46%. Back in February, a survey showed the incumbent president holding 43% support to Trump's 48%.

The New York Times/Sienna also discovered that Biden's support is strongest with voters of color, older people, and women. The former president, on the other hand, fairs best with men, voters lacking higher education, and Americans between the ages of 49 and 64.

With Independent voters, Biden also remains 5% behind Trump, per this latest survey. Independents, in recent years, have been widely viewed as a paramount voting bloc with the power to swing elections in one direction or the other.

An interesting seven months ahead

Between now and November, both presidential candidates will inevitably pull out all the stops to win another term in the Oval Office. Biden, as of late, has been focusing on student loan forgiveness and attempting to win over GOP primary voters who declined to back Trump.

The former president, meanwhile, is moderating his views on abortion and warning that an apocalyptic future awaits America if Biden stays in office.
