Trump, just off his arraignment post-indictment in New York City, has seen a massive surge of support both in the GOP primary and in general election numbers in recent weeks.
“Well, I’m honored,” Trump said when asked why he thinks he is seeing the surge to frontrunner status. “Sadly, I have to say part of it is because the country is doing so poorly. I wish it were for other reasons. They saw how we did, and now they see the country doing so poorly and so pathetically. We’re not respected by anybody. You have wars all over. Ukraine and Russia never would have happened if I were president — zero chance. It looks like China is going to happen with Taiwan. That never would have happened. And inflation never would have happened. It was caused by energy prices more than anything else. So many of these things were just self-imposed foolish mistakes — stupid mistakes beyond anything anyone has ever seen before. So, yeah, I’m leading a lot in the polls — by 35 or 40 points in almost every poll. Texas just came in and we’re almost 50 points in Texas. Now, Massachusetts is almost 50 points.”
It seems like the indictment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the intense national focus on his arraignment, has only fueled Trump’s surge.
In general election numbers, two post-indictment YouGov surveys nationally put Trump ahead of Democrat President Joe Biden, and a Rasmussen Reports survey showed Trump expanding his lead to seven percent over the incumbent president.

His many enemies — both Leftist & GOPe — are still there, in and out of gov’t, waiting for his run at the 47th POTUS.
Lizard Cheney is on suicide watch.
DeSantis is a dead man walking, only propped up by establishment cash.
But can he win in November?
I want to see her in the kiddie table debates with every other 1%er.
Until the CHEATING is stopped.....it does not matter who runs
“His many enemies — both Leftist & GOPe — are still there, in and out of gov’t, waiting for his run at the 47th POTUS.”
And the wise elder shares truth here. Absolutely...
Hope for the best but absolutely figure on the worst. Because they are either going to steal it again or they will tie his hands so tight he will not be able to do a damned thing for four years.
But can he win in November?
*********
He’s got the issues, so he would be way ahead in the polls but for his mouth. If he appologises for his name calling and stops making needless enemies on the right, it’s his to lose.
