The 2024 general election is in full swing and the presidential candidates are making their case to the nation. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are duking it out on the campaign trail as Americans decide which candidate they will support.
A new Economist/YouGov poll’s findings revealed precisely what the 2024 election will be about. The survey showed that regardless of which side one is on, this race is all about Trump.
Researchers found that about 67 percent of Trump supporters are mostly voting for the former president. Among Democrats, about 52 percent indicated their votes will be against Trump.
The findings suggest that Trump is the primary focal point of this race – and this trend will likely not change as the campaign slogs along. 2024 is about the persona of the Orange Man What Is Bad™ possibly even more than policies.
The poll’s findings related to voter enthusiasm are also quite telling. About 35 percent of Biden’s supporters said they were “extremely enthusiastic” about voting this years. This is compared to 44 percent of Trump supporters who indicated the same. This suggests some serious challenges for the Biden campaign in galvanizing a base that is more driven by opposition to the former president than passion for Biden.
Another poll conducted by the Wall Street Journal highlighted Trump’s commanding showing in the electoral battlefield. It had Trump leading Biden in six of the seven most competitive states. The former president’s numbers are being fueled by “broad voter dissatisfaction with the national economy and deep doubts about Biden’s capabilities and job performance,” according to the report.
To make matters worse, Biden is losing oodles of support among key demographics: Black and Hispanic voters.
Of course, one does not need polls to understand the current political landscape. In fact, former President Barack Obama appeared to recognize this reality when he advised Biden to make this election a referendum on Trump rather than his own selling points. The harsh truth for Democrats is that Biden has little in the way of selling points given his performance during his first term.
As I pointed out in another piece, this strategy probably won’t be as effective as Democrats hope, but it’s the only one Biden has.
If the 2024 election is about Trump, then it will be quite interesting to see how the race shakes out. It definitely seems to indicate that Biden’s path to reelection might not be as easy as Democrats would like it to be. Ginning up enthusiastic voters is not a possibility for the president. The left’s only chance of retaining the White House lies in scaring the public into voting against Trump and his evil band of “MAGA Republicans.”
Isn’t Hot Air an NPR show?
The Fix Is In, or Not?
I think so. If I'm a betting man, I'll say 75% chance.
Actually, Hot Air is a subsidiary of Townhall media outlet.
I dropped that website back in 2016. They’re turning into a drudge.
What’s interesting is that according to primary results, republicans overwhelmingly want Trump.
It certainly looks like democrats have no choice about having biden foisted on them by TPTB whether they like it or not. Whoever is behind the democrat party has decided that unpopular biden is the candidate for the democrat party, period.
Unenthusiastic votes count just as much as enthusiastic votes if they show up and vote - door to door ballot harvesting, etc. gets those unenthusiastic votes into the ballot boxes.
And though it is good Trump's enthusiasm is according to this date 9% higher than Biden's, it is still well less than a majority of his own supporters that are satisfied with him. These numbers are abysmal for both candidates, just "super abysman" for Biden. Trump has a record of success to advertise to voters to increase this enthusiasm. This story was not told in 2020 and Biden was allowed to define all of the issues of the race and define Trump and himself all alone on a huge number of media outlets. Incidentally, pretty much all Democrats have been allowed to do this vs. Republicans in every election since 2018 for every race across the board. That cannot be repeated in 2024.
I suspect the results are from a push-poll opinion survey. Under the guise of an objective opinion poll, loaded questions are posed to mislead or bias the respondents to give the answers wanted.
“about 52 percent indicated their votes will be against Trump.”
I think they will continue to dislike Trump but many will vote for him anyway because the Biden government is wrong for our country.
Democrat scum will print the votes they need, then pretend to be surprised.
We can count on a strong push to get women to believe Trump will outlaw abortion at the national level. Many will believe this, and vote for Biden as a result. It could well be enough to throw the election to Joe.
I’ve long known that only 2 people voted “FOR” the cadaver. Any other votes he “got” were cast by people voting AGAINST Trump.
But aside from that overarching truth, THE issue is the border (which subsumes crime).
Trump doesn’t stand a chance to win. The Marxist Dems have control of ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, paying off rinos to resign early for control of the congress who will grant citizenship to 20 million illegals to get their vote, control of the DOJ and 4 major law suits against Trump, control of the media, control of sitting judges in Trumps 4 lawsuits and most of all control of Dominion and Smartmatic voting machines and vote counters.
The steal is still on. If this goes to an actual voting day which I’m highly skeptical about Biden will win.
