The Wall Street Journal poll showed that Trump garnered 40 percent support versus Biden’s 39 percent support in a hypothetical rematch of 2020. While third-party candidates drew three percent, a large portion — 17 percent — were undecided.
If other candidates were excluded, Trump and Biden were tied at 46 percent each with eight percent undecided.
The poll was conducted August 24-30, with a sample of 1,500 American voters and a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, who conducted the survey with Democrat pollster Michael Bocian, told the WSJ that it was shocking that a potential general election rematch would be polling this closely, given the indictments against Trump.
“When we talk about how twisted and bent reality has become, that’s a really good example of it, because if, in fact, this were any other time and place, this race would not be happening this way,” he said.
The poll also found that Trump has no formidable challenger among GOP presidential primary candidates.
It showed that Trump is the top choice of 59 percent of GOP primary voters — up 11 percentage points since April.
Trump’s lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has nearly doubled since April to 46 percentage points, the survey showed.
Compared to Trump’s 59 percent support, DeSantis garnered only 13 percent, putting him only barely ahead of the rest of the GOP primary field.

The stupid BURNS. 🔥
George S. on ABC, was shocked, just shocked that Trump could be so competitive with Biden.
Oh good grief
WSJ went off the rails a long time ago.
No thanks to the republican party. My God, it’s like they are campaigning for biden.
Depressing he needs 12 to beat the cheat.
Meh, Trump will fall behind once Biden dies.
I'd like to see the internals on this poll. For instance, how many demorats were over sampled. "Voters"? How about likely voters.
That Beltway Uniparty will go to any and all means necessary to get rid of the cure.
But how could this be.
He was hounded 24/7 with Hoax after Hoax while he was President.
He was Impeached twice over bogus charges.
Then he was cheated out of his 2nd Term.
Now 4 Different Indictments.
Yet, he still Stands.
That’s because his voters know this is about Politics.
Onward to victory in 2024 Trump.
And THAT is a problem. Republicrat polls? Who cares?
This poll is invalid because it doesn't show Trump winning.
DNA links a March 2023 South Los Angeles California assault of a young girl to a recent murder of an adult female at Ma and Pa trail in Maryland. Another possible link in Chicago is currently being investigated.
I’m certain Biden won’t be a nominee, and will be very surprised if Trump is.
As Rush would say: this is pure (B)arbra (S)treisand.
Today’s polls remind me of the old book “How to Lie with Statistics”.
It’s pathetic that he can’t beat him easily given Biden’s unpopularity.
This like all polls are bogus. How many people shows up to a Biden speech?
Fake polls exist to make fake ballot counts seem reasonable.
No matter what happens, you can count on Biden becoming the comeback Kid in surging 10 points above Trump in the polls a year from now.
