JustinCharge 2,397 Posted January 24, 2023 remember that Trump never led A SINGLE POLL in the 2016 or 2020 election cycles. Today, we have a poll where Trump wins. His message IS getting out. He IS growing in popularity. Trump also holds a 26-point lead over DeSantis. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3827864-trump-leads-biden-in-hypothetical-2024-matchup-poll/ Trump leads Biden in hypothetical 2024 match-up: poll by Julia Shapero - 01/24/23 8:43 AM ET Former President Trump holds a 3-point lead over President Biden in a hypothetical 2024 rematch, according to a new Emerson College poll released on Tuesday. Forty-four percent in the poll said they would support Trump in the 2024 presidential election, compared to the 41 percent who said they would back Biden. Another 10 percent said they would support someone else, while 4 percent remained undecided. This represents a reversal from Emerson’s last national poll, in November, that showed Biden with a 4-point lead over Trump, 45 percent to 41 percent. Despite falling behind Trump in a hypothetical match-up, Biden’s approval rating saw a 5-point bump in Tuesday’s poll, increasing from 39 percent in November to 44 percent in January. A rematch between the two 2020 opponents appears increasingly possible, as a majority of both Democrats and Republicans said in the Emerson poll that they would support Biden and Trump as their parties’ respective nominees. Fifty-eight percent of Democratic primary or caucus voters said they think Biden should be the Democratic nominee, while 55 percent of Republicans said they think Trump should be their nominee, the poll found. Trump holds a substantial 26-point lead over his closest potential primary competitor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). However, DeSantis has gained slightly on Trump since Emerson’s November poll, increasing his support by 4 percentage points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not scary at all, what an absurd statement. He was already President once and we were better off as a country. Just a completely stupid take. You're a clown. All that said, no Thanks, he had his shot. I'm tired of these geriatric focks refusing to give up power, go the fock away. He's technically barely a boomer & Biden isn't even a boomer, he's older than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Bush43 entered office as the "compassionate conservative" and tried to reach across the aisle and got nowhere. Trump got in and tried to reach across the aisle on lowering the cost of prescription drugs and got nowhere. This makes Trump extremely appealing as the winner in 2024 because he did a first term, sat out for 4 years, and now comes back. so he uniquely has more veteran experience than any other second term president in the modern era. so he might fill out his cabinet correctly earlier than normal and get more done.

Pissing off liberals, along with white fear of minority status, have been the two main reasons for Trump’s popularity all along. Written by an woman immigrant of color. USA Today. With just days until the election, some Black voters may still be grappling with whether to cast their vote for former Vice President Joe Biden or President Donald Trump. Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you 'ain’t Black,” because apparently, he owns the Black vote. But Blacks are not a monolith, and they are not indebted to Joe Biden nor to the Democratic Party. If their final decision comes down to which candidate will continue the economic progress that lifted median Black household incomes to their highest levels on record and pushed Black unemployment rates and poverty rates down to their lowest levels, then there is really just one choice: President Trump. Consider that the man who championed the 1957 Civil Rights Act, then-Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson, referred to it as "the (N-word) bill.” As president, he signed into law pivotal legislation that dismantled segregation and disenfranchisement of Blacks: the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Yet, according to biographers and personal accounts, he still referred to Blacks of every stature — from Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall to his own chauffeur — as the N-word.
