2024 Shock: Biden 36%, Trump 50%

The bad news for unpopular President Joe Biden continues to roll in, the latest from a new survey that shows likely voters, by a 2-to-1 margin, do not want him to run again.

Even more embarrassing for the Democratic president is one of the largest gaps yet between him and former President Donald Trump in a 2024 matchup. In the survey previewed by Secrets, Trump is up 50%-36%.

4 “A majority of voters think President Joe Biden shouldn’t seek reelection in 2024, and he would lose a rematch with former President Donald Trump by double-digit margins,” read the early analysis of the Rasmussen Reports poll sponsored by the Heartland Institute.

“Sixty-one percent (61%) of likely U.S. voters believe Biden should not run for a second term as president in 2024. Only 28% say Biden should seek reelection, while another 11% are not sure. If the next presidential election were held today, and Biden were running against Trump, 50% would vote for Trump while 36% would vote for Biden,” according to the Heartland/Rasmussen survey.

Trump has been coy about his plans, though most former aides expect him to run again. Biden has pledged to run for reelection, especially if Trump makes another try.

Trump is so dominant in GOP presidential polls that even critic and Sen. Mitt Romney this week said that the Republican nomination is the former president’s to lose.

Biden, meanwhile, isn't dominant, and his base is breaking away and fast. In its analysis, the Heartland Institute said, “While 64% of black voters said they have a favorable opinion of Biden, only 39% want him to run for re-election." And it added that "among Hispanics, just 43% have a favorable opinion and only 31% want him to run in the 2024 presidential election. Women voters — a key to Biden’s 2020 victory — have soured on the president, with only 26% wanting him to run again.”

Should Trump not run, the survey said that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would also beat Romney, though by a slightly different margin of 46%-35%.

DeSantis regularly polls above any other Republican in a Trump-less 2024 primary.

The survey of 1,004 likely voters. Some 35% were Democrats, 33% were Republicans, and 32% were “other,” said Rasmussen.

Rasmussen’s approval rating for Biden is about the average of all polls: 55% disapprove and 42% approve.

Polls to years before election day are largely meaningless - a zillion things can happen in two years and any of them can change conditions and change outlooks.

He was supposed to be marginalized, ostracized, exiled.

He is their worst nightmare personified.

They STILL don’t know what hit them.

And he’s not done.

why do you think the media still brings him (Trump) up 24/7. Why does Biden trash the MAGA movement? Why is there another anti-Trump book written every week? Why is the 1/6 commission of fraudsters trying to make him "ineligible"? They know he is returning and they know he will prevent the fraud that prevented his official win the last time.

"Sen. Mitt Romney this week said that the Republican nomination is the former president’s to lose."

I wish he hadn't said that...

Great news. Very important. I bet if Trump was down by 15% the people saying meaningless wouldn’t be saying that.

I think it was Ari Fleischer who wrote a few days ago that the Democrats are staying silent now, but once the mid-terms are over, the long knives will come out for Biden. That seems to make a lot of sense to me.

It would be tough to actually remove Biden because Harris takes over, and the Democrats would be essentially in the same boat with an unpopular, and unelectable president. The smart plan is to convince Biden not to run for reelection, and start lining up candidates for 2024. Then again Democrats are more likely to be evil than smart, so they could screw that up.

Biden won’t be on the ballot.

I lean toward Roger Stone’s view that Michelle Obama will be.
