The nation was shocked by the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Even Democrats spoke out supporting the Republican candidate, disavowing any form of violence against him. Some media outlets changed their tune (at least for now), showing Trump and his family some basic, human decency. It is likely this harrowing event will alter the political climate of the country.
The attack on Trump has also thrown the Democrats’ plans for 2024 for a loop. It seems they fear how much this event will help Trump’s chances.
Biden was already a weak candidate, due to his cognitive decline. But now? How is he going to beat a man who survived an attempt on his life? Will Democrats work even harder to get rid of him before their convention? I guess that all depends on whether this assassination attempt is really going to help Trump’s chances, right? Well now, we are getting our first post-assassination polls. How are voters viewing the election, after a gunman tried to kill Trump? All we can say is, Biden might want to back his bags.
From The Hill:
Former President Trump is leading President Biden nationally and in seven battleground states, according to a new survey.The Emerson College poll, sponsored by Democrats for the Next Generation and published Thursday, found 46 percent of registered voters say they support Trump, compared to 42 percent who chose Biden and 12 percent that are undecided. The pollster noted, however, that Biden’s support dipped by 2 points since the poll was taken earlier this month while Trump’s support stayed the same.
Poll Numbers Tell the Tale
In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Trump’s lead over Biden has grown since the assassination attempt. This particular poll was sponsored by Democrats, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. However, it shows Biden losing points since the assassination attempt. This leaves Democrats in a big pickle. Regardless of Trump, Biden is losing ground.
President Biden is grappling with a slew of challenges that seem to be dragging down his numbers. From economic concerns to foreign policy blunders, the Biden administration is under fire from multiple fronts. Voters are expressing their dissatisfaction, and it’s showing up in the polls. The promise of a return to normalcy that helped Biden secure the presidency in 2020 is now being questioned by many who feel left behind by his policies.
Swing States in Focus
The swing states are where this race will be won or lost, and Trump’s numbers in these battlegrounds are particularly striking. States like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin, which were pivotal in 2020, are now showing a shift towards Trump. If these trends hold, the electoral map could look very different come November 2024.
With this news coming in, Biden got hit with another damning poll. It seems his own voters are clamoring for a big chance before the November election.
From The Hill:
An overwhelming majority of Democrats say they approve of Vice President Harris replacing President Biden atop the ticket if he decides to step aside, according to a poll released Thursday.The Economist/YouGov survey found 79 percent of Democrats would support Harris at the party’s nominee in November if Biden chose to withdraw from the race.
Already, Democrat voters are talking about replacing Joe with Kamala Harris. A staggering 79% of liberals asked were fine with Biden stepping aside to let his VP take over. That is the most likely scenario at this point if Biden decides to drop out. However, it will be yet another slam dunk for Republicans, since Kamala is even dumber than Joe! Harris has been a train wreck of a vice president and Donald Trump will eat her alive.
But she is the only viable candidate Democrats have right now. It’s lose-lose for them, no matter how you slice it.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump Leading in Polls: Donald Trump is ahead of Joe Biden nationally and in key swing states.
- Biden’s Challenges: Economic concerns and policy issues are hurting Biden’s numbers.
- Swing State Shift: Crucial battleground states show significant support for Trump.
