Trump leads polls in key states despite legal issues

From Morning Report, 8:20 am on 7 November 2023

Donald Trump has slammed the civil fraud case into his vastly overstated business empire as 'ridiculous'.

A possible outcome of the case in New York could bar Trump from any further business activity in that state.

Trump is currently leading the polls in five of the six US battleground states.

The key swing states in his favour include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania - where Trump's advantage ranges between three to ten points over President Biden.
