It’s an intense time in the US political arena. 

A New York Times poll released this week has Donald Trump leading Biden in five crucial battleground states: Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Biden is in the midst of a whirlwind at the moment, with the economy being a key issue for voters. 

However, he said, that there is still a long way to go as the 2024 election is still one year away. 

He said that at this time before the 2016 election the person leading in the polls was Ben Carson, who then lost to Donald Trump.
