Trump’s mug shot taken in a Fulton County jailhouse appears not to have dampened the Republican frontrunner’s ability to win in a general election against Democratic incumbent Joe Biden. Monday, InteractivePolls posted a national poll conducted by Emerson that showed Trump in the lead in the Republican primary, in a head-to-head with Joe Biden, and in a three-way race with Biden.

The poll covered public attitudes by 1,000 registered voters from August 25th to 26th via landlines and an online panel of voters with a margin of error of 3 percentage points. It showed Trump staying in the dominant position in the primaries, securing 50 percent of the vote compared to his nearest rival DeSantis, who garnered only 12 percent of the vote. In a two-way general election, Trump got 46 percent of the vote compared to Biden’s 44 percent. In a three-way general election, Trump got 44 percent to Biden’s 39 percent, while Cornell West, the likely Green Party candidate, garnering 4 percent.
Spencer Kimball, the Executive Director of Emerson College Polling, remarked that “support for Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup against Joe Biden increased two points since last week’s poll.” He further stated,” Cornel West continues to draw support from 7% of independents, 8% from Black voters, and 7% from Hispanics, key demographics that drove Biden’s 2020 victory.”
