A recent poll has found that former President Donald Trump can garner far more respect from potential voters than likely 2024 opponent President Joe Biden.
The Rasmussen Reports poll saw the New York businessman dominant as 42 percent said they respected Trump the most of any listed public leader, double that of Biden -- or 100 percent more.
The question was, "Which one of the following people do you respect most as a leader: Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or Mitt Romney?"
And it wasn't just the aging president that Trump garnered notably more respect than. Figures like former President Barrack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also polled much lower, garnering 17 percent and 2 percent respectively. Trump led Hillary by 2,000 percent!
Other Republicans like Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley also polled lower, with their own 3 percent and 5 percent respectively.
Trump wasn't just respected by his assumed voter base either. A strong 28 percent of black voters said they looked up to him the most, still beating out Biden who only got 25 percent with the same group.
But why is that? Why is the man that the establishment is working so hard to drag through the mud still garnering the respect of even his adversaries?

Patriots at home and true allies abroad cheer at the name of Donald Trump while traitors at home and enemies abroad shake in their boots.
Yup, that’s the sign of a true Patriotic American Leader.
GO TRUMP AND GO AMERICA!!!!
Those idiots who took that other ridiculous poll must be crying in their beers right about now.
...and I still get more respect the FJBLGB.

Bidenskyyyyyy and Clintoon are both bigmouthed, lying, HONKY THUGS.
Ask people who say they do not like Trump what they are voting for?
Biden 21%: A guy they know isn't capable, but is the incumbent and leader of the partyAdd those two up, and the "respect" factor is pretty close.-and-
Obama 17%: A guy they truly like, but can no longer run for elected office
Only 2000% more?
I don’t think the Dems care about polls, unless they show them ahead. They just use them to see how much and where they need to cheat.
Michelle looms larger...
Interesting. And in other news, a New York Times survey of historians finds that Biden is 14th on the list of Best American Presidents in History and Trump places last. So the intelligencia and the average voter have diametrically opposed opinions on the matter. I’m shocked. /s

Obama cannot run for office, but it’s pretty clear he’s running the country.
...very badly.
He does?
Off topic, I’m certainly not in the best position to lecture people on grammar (or spelling, for that matter). But this sentence from the article was so glaring, I had to mention it.
“And it wasn’t just the aging president that Trump garnered notably more respect than.”
For what it’s worth, it’s considered incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition -a rule which I admit to not always following (deliberately so, or not). And to be fair, there are situations in which a sentence that ends in a preposition sounds so much more natural than its grammatically correct alternative(s) that I will consciously decide to use the “incorrect” option over the correct one. But this example is not one of them. It’s almost painful to look at.
