President Biden is now the frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race against former President Trump "for the first time since October," according to a Fox News national poll released on Thursday.

"Since May, there was a 3-point change in the presidential race. Trump was ahead by 1 point last month, while Biden is up by 2 points today: 50%-48%," read a report from Fox News about the poll. "That’s well within the margin of error."

In the survey, 32% of respondents gave Biden positive marks on the state economy, which Fox News said is the highest level of his presidency.

"Biden’s current 50% support is his best this election cycle; he hasn’t been ahead of Trump since October 2023 and that was by just 1 point (49%-48%)," read the Fox News analysis.
