President Biden will lose the 2024 election race against three Republican candidates, according to a new poll.
Biden, 80, trails the 2024 GOP front-runner, former President Donald Trump, as well as former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) in a hypothetical head-to-head battle, a Harvard/CAPS-Harris Poll released Monday found .
Trump, 77, trailed Biden by 4 percentage points in the online poll of 2,103 registered voters, conducted Sept. 12-14, with the incumbent receiving 40% support to Trump’s 44%. A separate 15% responded that they did not know or were not sure who their preferred candidate would be.
Haley, 51, beat Biden by the same margin, according to the poll, with 41% backing the former South Carolina governor and Trump administration officials compared to 37% who said they would support the sitting president. Voters were less sure who they would vote for in that scenario, with 21% saying they weren’t sure or didn’t know who they would vote for.

Scott, 58, trailed Biden 39% to 37% in the Harvard/CAPS-Harris poll, with 25% unsure who to vote for.
Among the other GOP primary candidates, Biden performed best against former Vice President Mike Pence, defeating him 42%-36% in the hypothetical race.
Biden also leads Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (42%-38%) and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy (39%-37%) in the new poll.

The poll also gauged how the GOP candidate would fare in a race against Vice President Kamala Harris and found that Trump is the only one who would beat Harris in a head-to-head race (46%-40%).
“There’s no question that President Joe Biden is showing lagging national poll numbers and now several GOP candidates are ahead of him,” Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll, told the Hill. “This is a new development because [non-Trump] potential opponents like Haley get exposure.”

Trump firmly leads the GOP race despite being hit with four criminal indictments since March.
He leads the field by nearly 44 percentage points, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
Haley and Scott did well against Biden in the Harvard/CAPS-Harris poll despite single-digit polling numbers nationally.
Haley polled at 5.7%, behind Trump, DeSantis and Ramaswamy, and Scott polled at 2.5%, behind Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, according to RealClearPolitics.
