Trump Leads Biden By 9 Points In WaPo/ABC News Poll

Posted September 24, 2023 by with 20 comments

Polls are often wrong, but yikes:

President Joe Biden’s job approval rating is 19 points underwater, his ratings for handling the economy and immigration are at career lows. A record number of Americans say they’ve become worse off under his presidency, three-quarters say he’s too old for another term and Donald Trump is looking better in retrospect — all severe challenges for Biden in his reelection campaign ahead.

Forty-four percent of Americans in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll say they’ve gotten worse off financially under Biden’s presidency, the most for any president in ABC/Post polls since 1986. Just 37% approve of his job performance, while 56% disapprove. Still fewer approve of Biden’s performance on the economy, 30%.

Head-to-head in a hypothetical November 2024 matchup, Trump has 51% support while Biden has 42% — numerically up 3 points for Trump and down 2 points for Biden from an ABC/Post poll in February, shifts that are not statistically significant.

A lot more details and numbers at the link.

The delusional talking points from Democrats claiming that the economy is “fine” and inflation is down are absolutely deranged. The most important indicators that hit people every day—groceries and gas—are killing people more than ever. $100 to fill up your tank. $200 for a week’s worth of groceries. It’s insanity, and Democrats not acknowledging this makes them look even more crazy and worthless than the Republicans.

As I’ve predicted over and over again, I don’t believe Biden will be the Democratic party’s nominee for President come November 2024. How that’s going to play out and who will be replacing Biden on the ballot, I have no idea. But, it definitely won’t be him. I don’t think Trump will be a nominee either. So, polls like the one from WaPo/ABC are entirely pointless, and we’re going to be looking at two completely different nominees one year from today.
