Former US President Donald Trump has betrayed fresh evidence of a presidential campaign in waiting.

As per a media leak, Trump minders have tested the mood in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - five states that delivered a total of 73 electoral votes in 2020, and a decisive Electoral College victory for Joe Biden to become president.

In a Trump-Biden matchup in all five - decided in 2020 by fewer than 3 percentage points - the former president is shown whipping Biden in Arizona by 8 percentage points, Georgia by 3 points, Michigan by 12 points, Pennsylvania by 6 points and Wisconsin by 10 points.

Tony Fabrizio, a top GOP pollster, conducted the surveys.

The poll numbers are aimed at baiters within the Republican Party who murmur about Trump losing his grip.

Biden has publicly said he plans to run for reelection. He too seems to gear up in the five states the Trump campaign has focused on, first with an eye on the midterms and then the big one in 2024.

Steve Schale, CEO for Unite The Country, said he had no reason to doubt Fabrizio's polling as Biden's approval numbers have dropped for months. That said, Schale noted that midterm polling is hardly predictive of what might happen in a presidential election in three years.
