ANALYSIS – Largest lead so far. Former President Donald Trump is ahead of incumbent Joe Biden by six percentage points in a new poll. And that is great news for Republicans and conservatives in general.
That is statistically significant, moving Trump well past any margin of error. I would argue it's also great news for America, as Trump is likely the only hope we have to reverse the deliberate destruction of our country under Biden and the Democrats.
A nationwide poll of 1,250 U.S. adults by Reuters/Ipsos published January 26 shows Trump leading Biden 40 percent to 34 percent, leaving over 25 percent of voters undecided, or voting for someone else.
Trump has already led Biden in over 100 polls for the 2024 cycle, according to the RCP's [Real Clear Politics] survey compilation. The former president only beat Biden in five 2020 polls all cycle, and was winning against Clinton in a total of 29 surveys for the 2016 election.
“The Democrats are scared as hell because President Trump is in the strongest position ever to beat Crooked Joe Biden in November,” Karoline Leavitt, national spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “As Biden struggles to maintain support amongst his own base, President Trump's base is growing and more energized than ever before, and he is winning over Independent voters by double digits.”
“Americans are suffering from Joe Biden's incompetent policies, disgusted by his corruption, and rightfully worried about his cognitive inability to speak or walk up a flight of stairs. Biden's days in the White House are numbered, and President Trump will soon return to Make America Great Again,” Leavitt added.
However, the poll also highlights dissatisfaction with some 67 percent of voters saying they were “tired of seeing the same candidates in presidential elections and want someone new.”
Still, only 18 percent of those voters said they wouldn't vote if Trump and Biden were two of their choices.
Other key takeaways from the poll include that the age of both candidates is an issue, though a far greater one for Biden, age 81, than Trump age 77. The poll shows that a whopping 75 percent of voters believe that Biden is too old to be in politics and a still huge number, 70 percent, think he shouldn't run in 2024.
That's a powerful majority of voters.
When asked about Trump's fitness to serve, the country was more evenly divided, with 50 percent saying he was too old to be in politics, and 56 percent saying he is too young. That's a big difference between the two.
It also means even a large share of Democrats and independents view Biden as too old.
Meanwhile, U.S News noted that: “Trump's six-point lead held even when respondents were given the option of voting for third party candidates, including maverick Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with Trump drawing 36 percent support, Biden 30% and Kennedy 8 percent.”
Despite some ambivalence among voters, US News added:
Turnout could still be high in the November general election in part because voters from both parties are highly motivated to beat the other side.
Fifty-nine percent of respondents who said they planned to vote for Biden said they were motivated primarily by opposition to Trump, while Trump voters were more positive about their candidate and his policies, with just 39% describing their vote as one against Biden.
Let the fireworks begin!
