WATCH: Pollster Frank Luntz 'Visibly Cringes' As He Predicts Trump Will Win the 2024 Election
RedState ^ | 1.13.2024 | Mike Miller

Posted on 01/15/2024 9:52:32 AM PST by Signalman

Hardly a fan of former President Donald Trump, Luntz was all but forced on Friday to predict that Trump will win the 2024 presidential election. Bummer, Frank.

Luntz was asked: “If you had to bet $150,000 on who's gonna win in November, who would you bet on?”

To his credit, Luntz bit the bullet and answered — but oh, the grimace and body language:

Luntz: I never dreamed that I would say this, but I would bet on Trump. I never, I thought it was done. I thought it was over. You don't come back from an impeachment. You don't come back from January 6th, you don't come back from any of this.

Uh-huh. But Luntz was forced to admit that Trump has come back.

Then again, in some circles, Trump never went away. Toss in Joe Biden — with the worst approval ratings, at this point in his presidency, in U.S. presidential history — and frankly (no pun intended), I would've been surprised if Trump hadn't "come back." Said Luntz:

But he has come back. The guy's a survivor and his opponent is having so much trouble that I would at this point, give the edge to Trump.

It was obvious that Luntz was genuinely disturbed by his own prediction.

The disbelief. The puzzlement. The anguish.

While Luntz was beside himself, he appeared incapable of understanding the current dissatisfaction in middle America, and a growing majority of voters in general who utterly disdain what Joe Biden has intentionally done to this country; from his intentional border crisis to the Afghanistan debacle to Bidenomics — which led to Bidenflation — to the never-ending flow of taxpayer money to Ukraine, and now, the strikes on the Houthi terrorists in Yemen, and the threat of a widening, Mideast war.

Yep, Joe did that. And more.

-Luntz and the Democrats have every reason to panic-

As I reported previously, even MSNBC on New Year's Eve rained all over Biden's reelection chances. Steve Kornacki, MSNBC's national political correspondent, meticulously explained how NBC’s final Biden presidency tracking poll of 2023 compares with those of other presidents heading into this reelection year. Spoiler: Biden's numbers sucked at record levels.

“That’s the lowest,” said Kornacki, referring to Biden’s record-low approval rating. “That’s the lowest in an NBC poll for an incumbent facing a reelection here.”

The commentary continued:

Joe Biden seems poised to be the Democratic nominee. What kind of year is he had politically? Well, again, he started 2023 coming off those good midterms for Democrats and his approval rating of 46/50 wasn’t that bad, but he’s taken a hit this year.

And as we start to close out the year, our final NBC poll had him at just 40% approval, 57% disapproval. How does this compare to past presidents entering the reelection year? Here? You can see it. Here’s the 40 that we have Biden at right now. These are all the final polls heading into the election year, a reelection year that NBC conducted.

You just see all the reasons President Trump got beat in 2020. He was at 44 heading into his reelection year. Bush Sr. got beat in 92. He was at 52 and heading south rapidly there.

But you see how that number compares. That’s the lowest. That’s the lowest in an NBC poll for an incumbent facing a reelection here.

The 2024 presidential election will be more about the spectacular failures of Joe Biden — which it should be — than about bogeyman, Donald Trump.

The Bottom Line I've closely followed presidential elections for more years than I'll admit, here — but I will say this: regardless of the eventual outcome of the 2024 presidential election, the next 10 months will be like nothing we've ever seen.

Count on it.

He must love the third world swarm. Hard to fathom what makes Trump haters tick.

Raise your hand if you think the left and deep state are going to just let Trump march to victory as in a normal election year?

I would be so very happy. I would probably buy several bottles of the most expensive (within limits) champagne, along with some stilton, truffle cheese, and Piave Vecchio.

I am concerned about just how far are the Commies and Deep State Maggots willing to go to prevent President Trump from returning to our White House. Not one thing that they have tried thus far seems to be working.

They’re not going to allow Trump to take office.

Careful, all.

Luntz is just setting up his own "credibility" right now, so that in September, when Luntz goes full-on chubby for Big Mike, people will believe he is being credible.

Our state of government and its institutions is that of “Bud Light”. Nobody wants it. It’s too big to fail.

In addition to Trump’s YUGE numbers the Democrats are confronted by a singular lack of candidates to replace Biden for November. None of the woke tyrants like Newsom or Whitmer stand a chance in hell of winning a national election. They got nothing.

I watched the Jill Biden interview with Mika Brzezinski. Man...my jaw was just hanging...listening to her talk about how hard Joe works and how cruelly he’s being treated by republicans. Zero mention of the facts of the southern border. Zero mention of inflation. Zero mention of the Afghanistan bug out. Zero mention of TWO wars that we’re now involved in. Zero mention....I mean she came off like the dude has had a perfect command structure in office and never done anything wrong. She says his age is an asset because of all his “wisdom”. What the hell kind of reality do these people exist in? I feel like they’re in a parallel universe or something.

They’re going to try to kill him. I was surprised when the NYPD didn’t try it while they had him in custody.

Say that they do it. What should our response be?

Don’t worry, Frank. I’m sure the democrats will pull off another steal again.

All of the cheating mechanisms that were in place in 2020 are still there.

All Democrats have to do is to get the "points on the board." Once that happens, any legal cases to expose fraudulent ballots literally takes years.

Unless SCOTUS makes some rulings in the next few months on Trump's election cases in GA, and Kari Lake's in AZ (which is highly unlikely), the same thing will happen to all MAGA candidates in November -- the counting will be slow-walked for a week until the Democrat is in the lead.

Well that sucks because his predictions are usually wrong.

The SCOTUS is going to punt and that's the right move.

All of this is politics. So we'll have to go to GA and AZ and change the laws to tighten up election security.

The success of a non-professional politician like Trump makes people question the need for the “professional politician class”. That endangers the rice bowls of all “professional politician enablers” like Luntz - the political pollster class, the “pundit class” all the “strap hangers” to professional poitics. That why Trump has to be destroyed.
