Union households favor Biden — but by closer margin than in 2020, poll finds
President Joe Biden is besting former President Donald Trump among union-household voters, according to merged data from the most recent national NBC News polls.
President Joe Biden is besting former President Donald Trump among union-household voters, according to merged data from the most recent national NBC News polls.
But Biden’s support from the key demographic group is down slightly from where it was in the 2020 presidential election.
Biden and Trump have battled for union support, especially in battleground Michigan, with Biden joining a union picket line in September and Trump holding his own competing event speaking at a nonunion auto parts company in the state.
Michigan holds its presidential primary Tuesday, with both candidates on the ballot in the separate Democratic and Republican primaries.
Overall, the combined results from the poll’s November and January surveys find 50% of voters from union households backing Biden in a hypothetical 2024 general election matchup, compared with 41% who support Trump.
