Swing States Called The Determinants Of The US Election, Is Trump Or Biden The Superior?
JAKARTA - Joe Biden outperformed Donald Trump in the national poll of the United States presidential election. But that doesn't guarantee victory. There are still many factors, one of which is seeing whose voice is the most superior in an area that has not made a steady choice or is also called swing states.
In the previous election, Hillary Clinton also had the same advantage over Trump in the 2016 election. However, she ultimately lost at the electoral college.
Because the presidential voting system gives each state a certain number of electors' votes, which are awarded to the state winner regardless of the high winning margin. Therefore, several states that are still floating in determining choices or swing states are one of the keys to determining who will be elected as the next US president.
The swing voters' areas have certainly been heavily targeted by campaigners from both Biden and Trump's camp. So who is the most superior in reaping the voice of support from this swing state area?
One of the polls to predict who will excel in the swing states is The Guardian. This media takes an average of 14 days of polls in eight regions that have swing states status.
The eight areas that become swing states are Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin, Iowa.
Of the eight regions, six swing states are dominated by Biden voters. The six regions include Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin. Meanwhile, only two regions dominate Trump's voters, namely Iowa and Ohio.
