The first poll conducted after former President Trump’s indictment indicates that Republican support for the former president is increasing, while overall support for the current president is sliding.
A random sample of likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers shows Trump robustly leads his competitors. When given a choice of the entire field, Trump bested his prospective main rival, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis by 15 points- 41% and 26%, respectively. The third-place candidate Nikki Haley received only 5% support.
In a head-to-head match between Trump and DeSantis, Trump still solidly leads DeSantis 47% to 39%. Trump backers are also firmer in their decision than those who support DeSantis. Almost three-quarters of Iowans who chose Trump said their minds were made up, while 56% of potential DeSantis voters were not firm in their choice, with 15% undecided.
The Iowa caucus holds significance because it is the first Republican presidential primary caucus, scheduled on February 5, 2024.
A Reuters/IPSOS poll, also conducted after the indictment, found that Trump leads DeSantis 57%-31% among Republican voters, a gain of 10 percentage points from a week earlier.
Meanwhile, Biden’s favorability rating is dropping. A recent CNN poll by SSRS found that less than a third of Americans say Biden deserves reelection, down from December when 37% believed Biden deserved a second term. The poll also finds 57% disapprove of the job Biden is doing, Only 42% approve. The same time two years ago, 53% approved of Biden’s performance.
A paltry 22% of Americans believe the nation is heading in the right direction, down 6 points from January, according to a CIVIQ poll.
Indicative of the state of affairs in our country, Biden’s poll numbers are low on almost all major issues. On immigration (35% approve), the economy (37%), and national security (44%). Majorities also believe that Biden does not have the stamina and sharpness to serve effectively as president (67%), does not inspire confidence (65%), and is not honest and trustworthy (54%).
When asked by “Today” show meteorologist Al Roker earlier this week at the White House Easter event if he intends to run for a second term, Biden babbled incoherently at first but then replied affirmatively.
“Well I’ll eith- I’ll either be rolling egg or, uh, being the, the gu-you know, the guy who’s pushing them out. I plan on running Al, but we’re not prepared to announce it yet.”
As of now, 2024 is heading to be a repeat matchup of 2020- Trump vs. Biden. However, the election is a year and a half away, so it is too early to predict with any degree of certainty. The only certainty is our country can not withstand another four years of a cognitively impaired president controlled by radical leftists who hate our nation. Whoever, is the GOP nominee needs to have the full support of every voting-age Republican
