Less than 13 months from the 2024 election, a new set of polls has delivered alarming news for backers of incumbent President Joe Biden, with voters in swing states and even younger voters giving the edge to former President Donald Trump. The key driver: voter rejection of Bidenomics.
According to a Morning Consult/Bloomberg poll, Trump is up four points among voters in seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. On a state-by-state breakdown, Trump has the upper hand in five of them. He’s tied with Biden in Michigan, while Biden leads in Nevada by 3.
In 2020, Biden received the electoral votes of all of those states except for North Carolina, which Trump won by 1.3%. If all other states stayed in their 2020 columns, Trump would need to take four of the seven swing states to return to the White House.
Swing-state voters say the economy outweighs any other factor in their voting decisions, and they’re hugely disappointed in the Biden-era economy. 49% say Biden policies have been bad for the economy, compared to 26% who see them as a positive.
“Almost twice as many voters in the swing states are saying that Bidenomics is bad for the economy, as opposed to good for the economy, which is a really startling fact if you’re the Biden campaign,” said Morning Consult pollster and vice president Caroline Bye. Bye couldn’t help but reveal her own bias, declaring, “Biden is not getting any credit for work he’s done on the economy.”
It’s not just the economy that’s dragging Biden down; swing-state voters have higher confidence in Trump in 10 out of 16 policy areas. Only where “climate change” is concerned does Biden outperform Trump by more than 10 points. Interestingly, they give a solid edge to Trump on “guns.”
The independent campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr is a wild card. The Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll found Biden leads Nevada by three points in a head-to-head matchup with Trump, but loses by three when other parties are included. On the other hand, Trump’s supporters are much more likely than Biden backers to view Kennedy favorably — by a whopping 46% to 29% margin.
Two other polls yielded more bad omens for Biden, particularly in regard to key Democratic constituencies. An Emerson College poll found voters between 18 and 29 favor Trump by 2.3%, while CNBC‘s All-America Economic Survey found sagging support for Biden among young people, blacks and Latinos.
Democratic pollster Jay Campbell called those results “very troubling” for Biden. Noting that those three constituencies are among the hardest hit by economic conditions, he said, “You start to think that maybe they’ve run out of patience, and it’s starting to show through in their decreasing regard for the president.”
joe, who has lost FIVE US Embassies to war*, and who backs wars even going so far as to thwart peace plans between Russia and Ukraine, is trying to distance himself from his total failure with the economy and re-brand himself as a “WAR PRESIDENT.”
LOL.
Who thinks sending men to their deaths is going to garner the youth vote?
Who thinks joe’s lame claim that war makes for jobs for Americans will outweigh the war dead coming home in coffins?
* Belarus, Afghanistan, Sudan, Ukraine (supposedly re-opened) and now Lebanon.
biden is nothing but an unmitigated failure
The treasury is set to refinance 8 trillion in debt that was initially financed at 1% or less. The cost of refinancing wil be at an interest rate in oof 5%.
Soon the annual cost of interest on the debt will be 1 trillion.
When will Congress take deficits and debt seriously and begin to reign in spending?
Its a 4D chess move by Biden to lower the cost of used cars.
HF have you seen the prices on used trucks under 150K miles?!!
Buyer beware if they cant make the payments basic maintenance was not done.
Bidenomics. Obamanomics. Sorosonomics. It’s all the same, with all the same results.
WaPo revised debt rises to 2.2 trillion. Thanks joe
The problem we now have with a 2.2 trillion dollar deficit is we are unable to finance that debt.
