A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey in Pennsylvania finds 45% of voters support former President Trump in a 2024 potential presidential election, while 43% support President Biden.

If the difference is only 2%, Biden will be able to discover extra votes in Philadelphia to cover that spread.
You assume the GOP actually wants to win.
We NEED Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona or some combo theirin.
And this is against the backdrop of mail-in voting, which isn't going away.
Sorry, I left off the /s and/or the :)
“Say again?”
PA should consist of ALL “recovering Democrats” after Biden...
(and remove President Biden’s name from their PA highway).
D poo-bahs have told him in many ways that he should not run, but nobody can tell him to step down....not even Obama. He’s know to be very very stubborn.
A Prez. has never been forced out. Goldwater was forced to end his campaign. LBJ didn’t want to lose to the anti-war vote, but it’s a tough job to tell a sitting Prez. (and his 1st Lady) he will quit because he’s already beaten Trump. The job is usually a 2 term job. Jimmy Carter and DjT are the exceptions with overriding reasons for both single terms. Nobody told either to step down.
What they can do, however, is leak incriminating evidence of the traitorus scam he & Hunter have run for years. That tactic could remove Joe but at a huge cost. “Democrats...the Party of Treason “.
They’re trying to thread the needle with dirtying up Hunter, hoping it rubs off on Joe put not the party so that he quits before his Treason is exposed.
IMHO
Is Emerson reliable ?...I don’t recall their accuracy
That's a laugh. Didn't 110% of Philly voters turn out in 2020? With 112% voting for Biden?
I heard him a few months ago, on some news report, and he was actually semi-coherent, compared to last year’s pitiful performances. I guess his ‘brain’ has recovered somewhat...
Fire up the fraud/cheat machine. This margin is easily beat.
No need, the Dems already have a built in 2% fraud margin.
Easy if it was a fair election but we know now with certainty the rats/rinos will not let us have another fair election. They believe they know who should govern better than “we the people”.
Not a very safe margin and it will narrow as the election approaches. I suspect that’s what Biden’s counting on. Same in Michigan. Someone should run a talley to see if Trump can still win if he loses Michigan and Pennsylvania.
I still don’t understand how Biden’s numbers are so high - he should be in Carter territory, polling at 5%, if that, after all he’s done to wreck this country, especially via the southern border wide open to criminals, drugs, and destitute.
Unless the polls are lying, which I suspect they are. I remember polls showing Hillary with a 95% chance of winning on the morning of the 2016 election.
That said, Philly and Pitt are rife with vote fraud and they’ll use it again in 2024 to steal the election
Check out the methodology.
They got what they polled for.
I notice that you are among many here at Freerepublic who have grown accustomed to losing.
Have you completely given up on America?
I think Emerson College polls are based on responses from northeast academic faculty members.
It’s not America anymore if you hadn’t noticed. I’m not quietly or blindly “slouching towards Gomorrah” with the rest of the sheeple, I’m at least kicking and screaming bloody murder the whole way.
“If Obama gives the green light to Democrats to take Biden out, there will be ample evidence that Biden has lied about his knowledge his family was selling his name and office with his permission, and if that’s in fact the case, then there’s likely unreported money that will be found”
As Rush Limbaugh was dying he said what you are now saying.
Now the big question is who Dems will run, if they need to run anybody at all. Will Trump be in prison? Will he be dead?
It’s not like the Deep State is even trying to hide it anymore.
FAUX SNOOZE CHANNEL can fix this in a heartbeat.
“I still don’t understand how Biden’s numbers are so high - he should be in Carter territory...”

Excellent observation. Any viable GOP nominee should be leading the polls 58 -42 at this point. Every time I hear Trump saying he is way ahead of Biden, I cringe. Trump hit his high water mark in the 2020 election when he carried 46.8% of the vote. Today, he is stuck in the mid 40s with zero prospect of increasing that number. He is a known quantity. The voters know him well, and no one is changing their mind about him.
Biden and his team know that Trump is the only GOP candidate they could possibly defeat in 2024. Manufacturing all the bogus legal proceedings against Trump was for the sole purpose of ensuring Trump’s base was stirred up enough to ensure he got the GOP nomination. That has worked like a charm for the Dems.
The larger question – Can Trump actually expand his appeal to other segments of the electorate that would be necessary to pull off a General Election victory? He remains in the process of insulting and bullying his way to the GOP nomination, along the way permanently alienating a huge swath of Republican and Independent voters who would be essential to building a winning coalition.
I am no supporter of Nikki Haley, but I also know Trump will need her voters. Rather than showing some conciliation and respect, he continues with his childish ways (referring to her as “bird brain”, for example), along with dissing her husband’s overseas deployment. This gets his base charged up, all the while driving away moderates and independents he would need in November. I wonder what Italian Americans think about all the months he made light of Ron DeSantis’ name? Trump doesn’t seem to care – this is all about Trump and getting his vindication. It is no surprise that he remains stuck in the mid-40s when matched against Biden.
This race will be determined by 40,000 - 50,000 independent voters in a handful of swing states. Black voters will remain firmly entrenched on Biden’s plantation. Independents will choose who is the least detestable of the two. It remains possible that the corrupt and feeble Biden could squeak out a win, only to turn the keys over to Kamala Harris shortly thereafter. Scary prospect.
At this point, the best step he could take to begin expanding his base would be to select someone like Glenn Youngkin as a running mate.
I understand, I am about to receive incoming missiles from FR members, but I encourage everyone to contest my logic in a thoughtful manner rather than just hurl childish insults.
