Most say Biden, Trump not ‘fit’ for presidency, nearly half could vote third-party: polls
The New York Post ^ | 07/21/2023 | Josh Christenson

A majority of Americans believe neither President Biden nor former President Donald Trump are “fit to serve another term” in the Oval Office — and almost half might back a third-party candidate next year if the two are their party’s nominees, according to two recent polls. A Yahoo News/YouGov survey found 55% of US adults believe Biden is unfit for the presidency, and 53% say the same of Trump. When asked their reasoning, 20% of Americans say Biden, 80, is “incompetent,” 12% say he is “too old,” 10% say he is “corrupt,” 9% say he is “doing a bad job,” and 3% say he is “dangerous.” More than one-fifth (21%) of those surveyed say Trump, 77, is “dangerous,” 17% say he is “corrupt,” 6% say he is “incompetent,” 5% say “he did a bad job during his first term,” and 2% say he is “too old.” Just 36% say the current GOP frontrunner is fit to serve as president again, while 27% say the same of the Democratic incumbent, with support for the candidates falling largely along party lines. In a hypothetical rematch of the 2024 election, 47% of registered voters support Biden, while 43% support Trump, 6% say they’re not sure which they would support and 4% say they would vote for someone else.

I’ve never heard a critic of Trump who truly understands deep in the inner recesses of their own mind, the nature or the substance of their opposition to him.

Fake News

After seeing what the Dems have done to Trump for 6 or so years, no one has yet to find someone who would go through what he went through and still be on his feet, gaining power like Trump has. That ‘poll’ is as accurate as the bizarre claims that Biden won historical levels of the vote while being weird, useless and hiding in his basement.

According to the poll, 10% say Biden is corrupt and 17% say Trump is corrupt.

Far as anyone needs to read on this poll.

Historically, 98% of the people who threaten to vote 3rd party never will.

In the last century, exactly three 3rd party candidates have won electoral votes from something other than rogue or unpledged electors:

  1. Geroge Wallace, 1968
  2. Strom Thurmond, 1948
  3. Bob LaFollette, 1924

Sounds like either a Rupert Murdoch or a Lachlan Murdoch headline creation to me.

Overall national poll has no meaning. California, New York & Illinois will vote 60:40 Biden:Trump.

But election is based on ELECTORAL votes, NOT national polls.
Trump seems to be doing just fine in swing states, which is what matters. CA & NY & IL are going 100% for Biden, and counting them in national poll is not relevant.

These polls are all total made up BS. Yet so many gullible conservative actually believe them. And most people will not vote third party and that is a fact. Especially when there is no third party candidate that is any better to either side.

I went into a mood tailspin thinking “what if this poll is actually right?” when I saw last night:
“Biden Would Defeat Trump easily.”
“47-40”
Mediaite (so hopefully NOT worth being depressed over.)

Also, all the electoral college votes have to be counted, not the overflow of corrupt CA,NY,MA,OR,WA,IL and others with large woke infestations.
Dems always push the popular vote up with those urban woke ones.

I believe many are simply tired of hearing about either one of them. But they will hold their nose and vote for their party’s nominee.

Careful media...

...your narrative may evolve

into an independent ticket

with Trump/Kennedy

Then both the RINO and demon party would be screwed.....

Anyone going 3rd party was never for Trump. His support is solid because people vote FOR him and not against the other guy

Yeah it’s weird how the only fake polls are the ones Trump is trailing in. Strange that. 🤔

Very gullible. It’s like listening to idiot talk show hosts that say “ well, this pollster was closest that got 2016 wrong”.

I agree.
Anyone voting for Tump are doing it with profound and sincere conviction.
Those who voted for Biden couldn’t stand him... but voted for him anyway because he was by default the representative opposing Trump.
