Wow. A devastating poll for Joe Biden. It’s from two of his biggest supporters – ABC News/The Washington Post. It finds him losing ground in a significant way with Independent voters, and with all voters on the Economy. Most shockingly, it finds Donald Trump leading Biden in a head-to-head matchup by 7 points! Desantis also leads Biden by 5 points, should he be the GOP Nominee.
This totally cuts against the conventional wisdom that Trump can’t win. That might not be the case if voters focus on their own Economic self-interest. The Economy is much worse under Joe Biden. That’s a fact. Trump has proven he knows how to get the Economy going – he did it after Obama-Biden, until the Pandemic blew everything up. There may yet be hope that Americans will turn things around in 2024.
A stunning new ABC News/Washington Post poll out Sunday contains nothing but bad news for President Joe Biden, and good news for his potential 2024 opponent Donald Trump.
According to the survey, the president trails his predecessor by 7 points in a hypothetical 2024 general election matchup. Respondents were asked whether they would “definitely” vote for Trump or Biden, “probably” vote for Trump or Biden, or vote for someone else or not vote at all. Among those who “definitely” prefer one candidate over the other, Trump leads Biden 36-32. But when those “probably” voting are added to the tally, Trump’s margin balloons to 7 points — as he holds a 45-38 advantage over Biden.
The poll found Biden would fare only slightly better if the Republican nominee were Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). The president is tied with DeSantis 32-32 among those “definitely” backing a particular candidate. But when the “probably” category is added, DeSantis pulls ahead 42-37.
President Biden’s approval numbers, according to the new ABC/Washington Post poll, are nothing short of dismal. Only 36 percent of voters approve of the job the president is doing, compared to 56 percent who do not. The approval number is down 6 points from February, the last time ABC and the Washington Post released a poll, and represents an all-time low for him in that particular survey.
Ominously for Biden, Trump holds a commanding lead on one major issue — the economy. When voters were asked “Who do you think did a better job handling the economy – Donald Trump when he was president, or Joe Biden during his presidency so far?” 54 percent chose Trump, compared to 36 percent who picked Biden. . . .
