In what would be one of the biggest political comebacks in American history, former President Donald Trump has surged into a double-digit lead over President Joe Biden in the latest 2024 matchup poll.
In today’s Rasmussen Reports survey, likely voters picked Trump to beat Biden, 45% to 32% if the election were held today, a gap that is even higher among independents who have become the critical swing group. They chose Trump 47%-20%.
Rasmussen reported a sizable number of voters who want someone else, at 17%, and just 6% said they were on the fence. Also: 15% of Democrats said they’d vote for Trump compared to 8% of Republicans who’d pick Biden.
Added the poll analysis, "Only 69% of those who say they voted for Biden last year would vote for him again if the election were held today. Eight percent (8%) of Biden’s 2020 voters would switch to Trump, who would get 83% support from those who voted for him last year."
The surprising results follow months of bad polls for Biden since his team blundered the withdrawal from Afghanistan and a surge of support for Trump despite continued media obituaries and analysis from liberals that ignore the views of so-called “fly-over” country.
Other polls this week also show that Trump is leading in some key states Biden won in 2020, showing that the Republican is also leading in the Electoral College election.
What's more, in polls of potential GOP primary opponents, including former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Trump leads by miles.
Similar to 2016 surveys that found many voters supportive of Trump but not his sometimes abrasive style, when asked if it is a “good idea” that Trump act on plans to run again, 49% said it was a “bad idea” to 41% who like it. Women especially aren’t eager for Trump to run again, said the survey.
The gap on the “good idea” versus “bad idea” question of running again was much wider for Biden, with just 30% calling his plan to run for reelection a good idea and 56% a bad idea.
On that question, many more Democrats gave Biden a thumbs down. Rasmussen said that 27% of Democrats feel a reelection bid is a bad idea to 55% who like it. And among independents, the spread was 3-to-1 against.
Biden has been on a long fall that was punctuated by Virginia Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Terry McAuliffe’s surprising defeat earlier this month. Since, other Democrats have hinted that they hope Biden doesn’t campaign for them.
What’s more, Democrats have become willing to consider that Biden, who just turned 79, will not run for reelection though they are queasy over the possibility that Vice President Kamala Harris, who is even less popular than Biden, would win the nomination.
There are still people out there who want more Brandon? Now, this is indeed surprising...
At any given time, 1/3 of this country is Communist..................
The only thing running for Biden will be down his leg…
This is indeed good news but remember that during the campaign the media will try to destroy Trump, putting him jail if possible. This is not going to be a cakewalk.
Trump needs to lighten up. Make the suburban housewives find him more palatable. He’s got the issues and facts on his side but does it matter to these women? Biden ain’t runin’. His VP should be a Kennedy-ours. Make em’ laugh.
Ridicule.
Polls mean nothing. Trump won the last election. What did that get us?
Way too early to talk about blowouts.
even Communists should be able to notice rising prices .. but then, perhaps I’m dreaming :(
Don’t be deceived. You better believe somewhere in the world millions of Biden votes are being manufactured to be delivered in private cars at 2 in the morning with no chain of custody attached.
The biggest obstacle to Trump will be the GOP.
They fear and despise him. The effort to block Trump will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before.
I wish he would start his own party.
Save his wrath for the RINO’s and talk more populism.
Brandon won’t live that long. It’ll be Kammy against Trump and he’ll mop the floor with her. MAGA!
Puhlease. They will steal enough votes to win
It was a blowout last time too…..
Anyone who thinks Biden is going to be running against Trump, or anyone else, is out of their mind.
This country is occupied by many Takers and Gimme Dats. Prolly more than half the population.
Or maybe:
DeSantis: 65%
Harris: 35%
I’ll check back in 3 years....
I hope the “Trump is a meanie” crowd is enjoying the hyperinflation, shortages, and $6 gas.
