In a hypothetical matchup between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential election, an Emerson poll revealed that Iowa voters favored Trump over Biden by 8 points.

The poll indicates 47% of voters would support Trump, compared to 39% who would support Biden in 2024. The poll also mentions that for 38% of voters, the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago would not affect their support of Trump in 2024. But 34% said the raid makes them more likely to support the former president, and 28% said it makes them less likely to do so.

Most Iowa voters, 56%, disapprove of Biden's job performance, while 34% support it; 10% are neutral.

Regarding issues, 45% of Iowa voters say the economy is the most important issue; following behind that are threats to democracy at 17%, abortion access at 12%, healthcare at 7%, and immigration at 7%.

"Voters who say the economy is their most important issue break for Republican [Sen. Chuck] Grassley [of Iowa] by 61 points, and for Republican [incumbent Gov. Kim] Reynolds by 69 points. By contrast, those who say threats to democracy are their most important issue break for [Democratic Senate candidate Michael] Franken by 57 points and [Iowa gubernatorial Democratic candidate Deidre] DeJear by 50 points," Emerson College Polling Executive Director Spencer Kimball said.

Regarding the midterms, for the Senate, Grassley holds an 11-point lead over Franken, 49% to 38%. For the gubernatorial race, 53% of Iowans support Reynolds, compared to 36% who support DeJear.

The poll was conducted Oct. 2 to 4. The sample consisted of 959 likely Iowan voters. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.1%.

Sorry, but I am a conservative!

I can do both!

To a Conservative, this more like walking, and chewing bubble-gum at the same time!

Nothing about Trump at this times shows him slowing down at all.

In fact, his actions, words, and schedule shows just the opposite.

He appears more energetic and energized than ever before!

Just wait ‘till Trump gets indicted.

Then he will lead by 20 points!

In other words, what Rush used to refer to as Low Information Voters.

Unintelligent and uninformed people constitute the vast majority of Democrat voters. We’re talking people who are so stupid they are unable to discern what is in their own best interest. PITIFUL PEOPLE, AND VERY DANGEROUS.

That being said, I don’t think Trump is the candidate either.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well there’s only one other person who might possibly garner the support of the majority of Republican and independent voters in the next election, and last I heard Gov. DeSantis does not plan to become a candidate.

If Trump is not in prison or in the dirt, he WILL be the Republican candidate in 2024. Want to place a wager?

Tell me, which politician in this entire country has repeatedly demonstrated to have more energy, more drive, more stamina and more persistence than Trump?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
No one else comes close regarding any of those attributes. And more importantly, no one else has demonstrated the courage to tell the world that the ‘rats are in the process of destroying our country and vows to put an end to that destruction. NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE!

We need to think long term, and get a bit of a youth movement going. Trump 2016 was perfect for the time because he was something new and different.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Very “progressive” of you to think we need a youth movement. Unfortunately a large percentage of the young have been indoctrinated to believe that our country is inherently racist, and Capitalism must be replaced with Socialism.

As for thinking long term, that’s exactly what MAGA voters are doing: 2024 Trump, 2028 DeSantis, and 2032 DeSantis!
