Biden parallels? How Carter fared against Reagan in this stage of election cycle
Fox News ^ | 03/14/2024 | Chris Pandolfo

When President Biden and former President Donald Trump face off in an election rematch this November, one man will remain a one-term president.

Trump, a Republican whom Biden unseated in 2020, seeks to return the favor in 2024 as the incumbent Democratic president struggles with lackluster approval ratings reminiscent of infamous one-term president Jimmy Carter. As of February, Biden's job approval rating stood at 38% in a Gallup poll — less than one point above President Carter's record-low Gallup rating of 37.4% after his third year in office.

There is reason to believe that Biden today is in a weaker position than Carter was in 1980, when the Democratic incumbent lost re-election to Republican challenger Ronald Reagan. In March 1980, a Gallup head-to-head poll showed Carter at 58% to Reagan's 33% — but the gap would narrow in the ensuing months, and Reagan ultimately defeated Carter in a 44-state landslide with 50.8% of the popular vote to Carter's 41%.

Trump doesn’t have to win in 45 states as Reagan did in 1980. He just needs 270 electoral votes.

Dumb article. America was 90% white in 1980.

For those that were not alive, or too little to remember, this current state, while terrible, in no way matches the jimmah cahtah borderline depression of 79-80.
It took Reagan 2 years to put the country back together.
The times right now are really similar.
Back then, Reagan took 49 states.

No, Trump wouldn’t wipe out Biden, even in a fraud free election.

Trumps is gonna beat Biden, but states like CA, OR, WA, MA, NY, IL are going to vote heavily Democrat. They have large populations and a lot of Electoral Votes.

In 1984 Reagan won the most lopsided Presidential election in modern America. Empty suit Mondale still received 40.6% of the vote. That’s the floor for a Dem Presidential candidate, they’re going to get at least 4 out of 10 votes even in the worst case scenario.

Trump will beat Biden, but he’s nowhere near as popular as Reagan, and even in a fraud free election Trump isn’t going to win in a landslide.

https://thefederalist.com/2024/03/13/michigan-has-more-registered-voters-than-eligible-citizens-in-53-counties-says-rnc-lawsuit/

and thats in a Purple state. 2/3 of the counties have MORE REGISTERED VOTERS than eligible citizens!!!!

This is the process of turning a Red State to a Blue State

The Blue States, IMHO, are Blue by virtue of institutionalized and well-maintained fraud
no rational person wants what Blue is selling today. None.

“CA was 66% white non-hispanic. It’s now down to around 40%.”

By every demographic measure, Hispanics are white, unless you ask a racist KKK left winger. Then Hispanics are a new race recognized only by left wing racists. BTW, whites have increased their number in the US from 72% to 74%, according to the latest census estimates.
