MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Around 46% of voters would vote for US President Joe Biden, with the equal share of the voters willing to support former US President Donald Trump if the presidential election were held today between the current US leader and his predecessor, a poll by US media has found.
As many as 8% of respondents said there were undecided, according to the survey published on Saturday.
If third-party candidates were added to the choice, Trump would lead Biden by 1 percentage point, 40% against 39%, with the share of undecided voters increasing to 17%, the poll also showed.
The poll found Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis trailing Trump by 13 points in April, before he launched his candidacy, underscoring the governor's difficulties in trying to sway Trump voters and mirroring his recent polling struggles elsewhere.
The media notes that what's unique about the current race for the Republican Party nomination is that "criminal indictments that might have sunk a candidate in past eras have only strengthened Trump's position."
Former US President Donald Trump was formally booked at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Aug. 24, 2023. The mug shot, taken in relation to his Georgia election interference indictment, marks a first as he hadn't previously taken a booking photo for any of the prior indictment proceedings.

The survey was conducted between August 24 and August 30. It included 600 Republicans who are likely to vote in the primary. It has a margin of error of about 4 percentage points.
The former US leader is facing criminal charges in Georgia for his alleged role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The legal cases also come amid Trump's re-election bid in the 2024 US presidential election.
The next US presidential election will be held in November 2024. Trump has announced that he will enter the race in November 2022. Republican Party primaries will be held in all 50 states between February and June 2024.
