Red Alert At The White House As Joe Biden Has Landed Himself in Serious Trouble
A recent poll indicates that President Joe Biden has been losing some support to former President Donald Trump.
Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, stated, “voters who think the cost of living is rising support Trump over Biden, 56% to 32%.”
Kimball added, “Income perception aligns with candidate preference, with those feeling their income is far below average favoring Trump 50% to 32% and those feeling it’s far above average favoring Biden 55% to 29%.”
According to the Emerson College poll, Trump has 46% of the vote, while Biden has 43%. Since Emerson’s earlier survey this month, Biden has experienced a two-point drop, whereas Trump has maintained his 46% support.
Emerson also analyzed voter preferences based on their weekly work hours.
The findings are clear: those who work the most support Trump.
From Emerson: “Analysis of voter work hours reveals distinct candidate preferences. Non-workers are evenly split: 45% support Trump, 44% Biden. Those working 30 hours or less favor Biden over Trump (52% to 37%), while those in the 30-40 hour bracket are divided (45% Biden, 43% Trump). Trump gains support among those working 40-60 hours, with increasing margins as hours increase, peaking at 80% for those working over 60 hours, compared to 7% for Biden.”
Additional highlights from the Emerson poll include:
– In a ballot test including independent candidates, 44% support Trump, 40% Biden, 8% Robert Kennedy Jr., and 1% Cornel West; 8% are undecided.
– Kennedy Jr. has the backing of 13% of independent voters, 12% of voters under 30, and 9% of Black voters.
– In a hypothetical 2024 U.S. congressional election, a generic congressional Democrat and Republican are tied at 45%, with 11% undecided.
– Among undecided presidential voters, 31% support the Democratic congressional candidate, and 19% the Republican; 50% are undecided in the generic congressional election.
– The economy is the top issue for 36% of voters, followed by immigration at 21%, threats to democracy at 10%, healthcare at 9%, abortion access at 7%, and crime at 6%.
– Compared with American families in general, 44% of voters think their family income is average, while 38% think it is below average, and 18% think it is above average.
A majority of voters (56%) are uncertain if they are getting an accurate picture of the war in Israel and Gaza, while 25% believe they are and 19% believe they are not.
“Perceptions of receiving accurate war information show a significant split,” Kimball noted. “Biden leads among those who think they are getting accurate information (53% to 36%), while Trump leads among skeptics (53% to 38%). Those unsure are divided, with 44% leaning toward Trump and 42% toward Biden.”
Biden and his administration are facing increasing challenges as they prepare to compete against Trump in the upcoming election.
The coalition that helped Biden defeat Trump in the 2020 election appears to be weakening, including support from Black voters, according to The Washington Examiner.
A recent poll shows that 30 percent of Black men in seven swing states plan to vote for Trump, a significant rise from the 12 percent who supported him in 2020.
While Biden is still expected to win the majority of the Black vote, with 57 percent indicating they will vote Democrat, this is a notable decrease from 2020 and could impact Biden’s presidency.
“In the same poll, 42% of Black women surveyed revealed they are still uncertain or persuadable in their voting choice. In 2020, 6% of Black women voted for Trump. Now, 11% said they are definitely or probably going to vote for Trump,” the report stated.
“In this particular election, the persuasion isn’t just to vote or not to vote,” said Adrianne Shropshire, head of BlackPAC, a Democratic super PAC. “The persuasion is actually to get people to come to Biden and away from third parties and away from Trump.”
