WSJ Poll Finds Donald Trump ‘Dead-Even’ with President Biden
Breitbart ^ | 3 Sep 2023 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 09/04/2023 10:18:32 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump is running about dead-even with President Joe Biden among voters, according to a poll published Saturday.

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.

Stupid poll with outdated assumptions which vastly underestimates the ability of the Democratic machinery to get votes.

“I’d like to see the internals on this poll.”

You suggest that there needs to be real people in a poll rather than a media organization that is spouting pure lies.

“Under George Soros’s leadership, the Open Society Foundations
support individuals and organizations across the globe
fighting for freedom of expression, accountable government,
and societies that promote justice and equality.”

Why isn’t Soros behind bars for a violation of the Logan Act?

The act was set up to prevent US Citizens from contact with
foreign leaders or members of their governments (I believe).

Soros’ open society brags about having his open society
foundation located around the planet. They advocate for
overthrow of foreign governments around the world, and
cozy up to Socialist nations.

The guy and his organization effectively conducts foreign
police from the United States as a private citizen.

Why is he allowed to do it?

He helped overthrow the government of Tripoli, and he was
well on his way to toppling the government of Libya before
Obama’s administration swept in and finished the task.

The Arab Spring was active in something like 13 nations
across the top of Africa into various Arab nations. I
suspect Soros “foundations” were heavily involved with
Obama’s favorite, the Muslim Brotherhood.

National polls are worthless. They may have oversampled voters from Florida and Texas. The only polls we should pay attention to are the state polls.

Sorry but I’m not buying this crap anymore. Between the absolute disappearance of the political pendulum in elections and the democrats mystical ability to speak and endorse absolute INSANITY not to mention fail miserably in terms of economics and crime and banning everything in sight…and remain ALWAYS somewhere around 45 percent.

They’re lying and cheating or the population in general is going crazy.

Correction:

In the comments I linked this response to, I listed Tripoli
as an entity that had regime change brought on by the Soros’
Open Society Foundation. (2010 era)

That was in error.

It should have read Tunisia.

I know it's a silly notion, and I should be soaking up what people who "know better" are saying, but I'm having a bit of difficulty doing that. ;O)

Without looking at it, I’m sure if you factored in the internals, Trump will be up by 5 to 15 points

The Democrats may be picking the Republican nominee TO THEIR OWN CHAGRIN.

The American people are a decent bunch. They can see that Trump is being screwed. The on-going screw job serves to confirm that Trump was screwed from the start during his first term in office.

Not only is Trump tied or so in the general election polls, the Democrats won’t be able, next year, to keep the left-of-center third-party candidates off the ballot. In 2020, neither Kanye West nor the Green Party candidate got on the ballot in the crucial states of Arizona, Georgia or Wisconsin, whereas the Libertarian Party candidate was on those ballots. During the petition period in the 2020 cycle, the Democrats were fastidious about signatures and deadlines although, come the election, they looked the other way.

The Democrats tried but failed to keep No Labels off the Arizona ballot for next year’s election. The Green Party is currently petitioning (and could use some help). Alaska and Nevada same story. No Labels is on, and the Green Party is petitioning (and could use some help).

From time to time, I’ll mention other states when these parties are actually petitioning and where a few more signatures might make a difference.

“Dead” was an approved choice from the propaganda media management division of the DOJ. Wordsmithing is unrelenting. Recognize it always.
