Trump’s Poll Numbers Are a Cry for Justice. Why is Trump riding high as Dems try to lay him low?

The harder Democrats hit Donald J. Trump, the higher his poll numbers go.

On June 8, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a federal indictment against Trump for allegedly mishandling classified records. But rather than sandbag Trump, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s 37 charges pumped helium into the reelection odds of America’s 45th president.

Trump’s Poll Numbers Rise Despite Indictment Ten days later, ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl was astonished to see Trump rising in public opinion after becoming the first former president to face federal prosecution.

“A poll from Quinnipiac on a possible Biden/Trump matchup puts Biden at 48 percent, Trump at 44 percent,” Karl said on the June 18 edition of ABC’s This Week. “This is a poll, again, taken largely after the indictment. I mean, that’s going to make you — that’s within the margin of error. That’s a statistical tie. What does that say about Biden if he’s barely beating [Trump] or in some polls actually losing?” (READ MORE: Donald Trump Is the New Jimmy Stewart)

Trump’s showing is even more impressive when compared to that of his rivals for the GOP nomination.

In April, an NBC News survey found that 46 percent of likely voters in the 2024 Republican primaries backed Trump’s return to the Oval Office versus 31 percent who want Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis behind the Resolute Desk. Trump’s 15-point lead was impressive but not staggering.

No more.

On Sunday, a new NBC News poll discovered that Trump is the choice of 51 percent of Republican primary voters, with DeSantis now at 22 percent. RealClearPolitics’ survey average shows Trump at 52.1 percent and DeSantis at 21.5 percent. Now, Trump’s 30.6 percent margin is officially staggering.

NBC also found tepid support for the other GOP contenders. The all-forgiving former Vice President Mike Pence scored 7

It’s backlash against wokeness. The Democrats don’t dare risk an honest election. Fraud is all they have left.

Americans loathe their government and its bureaucratic state. Putin polls higher than the DOJ.

They so easily beat him last time. They run the elections and trump did nothing to fix it so democrats want him the nominee again to pull the rug from under him once again.

Read my tag line to understand why Trump is popular. People are not stupid, not at least a lot of them.

How about comparing each Republican candidate against Biden? Early on they did, and the match-up was close. Then that stopped. Why? Because it hurts the Democrat and media push to make Trump the candidate so they can beat him again.

Majority of people are basically low information and low IQ.
They were fooled into thinking economy would just roll along under Biden, without the mean tweets and insults.

Another thing was a dumb statement by Trump in spring 2020 saying this Chinese virus will die away when summer weather arrives. Biden played it smart. He hid in basement wearing a burqa. Low IQ people construed that as Biden was taking covid more seriously. The initial version of covid was killing lots of people and people were scared of covid.

Now people have experienced brutality of inflation. Covid is not longer feared. And people have also seen how senile Biden is. 2024 will not be a repeat of 2020. Write it down.

But they are being crushed by the dying economy, and even stupid people get angry and vote their empty pockets and pocketbooks.

Trump is not God or the emperor. What was he supposed to do? He certainly fought for justice, fought to expose the fraud. Aren’t you ashamed to spout such drivel?

Add the RINOs into that, because together they make up the Uniparty. They both worked together to steal not only the 2020 election, but also the 2022 midterm election. But that is not all they work together to do

Polls schmolls. It’s not clear that Biden won the election in 2000. That’s why Biden is the “asterisk president.”

The final Quinipiac poll for the 2020 presidential race in Ohio had Biden beating Trump 47% to 44%. Trump won Ohio in 2020 and JD Vance won Ohio in 2022.

According to one theory, they want him to be the nominee, because they figure they can beat him, so they’re making sure he’s nominated by making him out a martyr by their own heinous abuse of power. Not using the DOJ for political purposes. Oh, no./s

Voters simply recognize Trump’s dynamic genius leadership that is unique. No one else has his qualifications and experience.

If you take polls this early seriously you are a fool. Remember how Hillary was certain to win in 2016?

all great. but dems believe they’ll win the general because of guest voters coming over the border and dem control of voting in swing states. plus the general cluelessness of republicans as to how the dems do their voting business.
