As Trump visits Nevada, new post-conviction poll shows he’s winning in state

Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by five percentage points among Nevada voters, new polling from Fox News finds.

The poll was conducted from June 1 to 4, after a Manhattan jury convicted Trump of 34 counts in the hush money case.

Trump received 50% of support compared to 45% for Biden in the hypothetical matchup between the two. According to Fox News, Biden led Trump 47% to 39% in Nevada in a January 2020 poll. Trump lost the state in both 2016 and 2020.

"I just went through a rigged trial in New York with a highly-conflicted judge," Trump said at a rally Thursday in Phoenix, his first public appearance since his conviction. The former president is set to hold a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The survey found Nevada voters trust Trump more when it comes to the economy (56%), the Israel-Hamas war (53%) and border security (59%). Respondents said they trust Biden more on climate change (52%), abortion (52%), health care (50%) and election integrity (48%).

Biden had 42% approval among Nevada voters, while 58% disapproved of his job as president.

Fox News surveyed 1,069 registered voters in the state for the poll, which has a sampling error margin of ±3 percentage points.
