Is Donald Trump getting nervous about his potential success if he ultimately runs for president in 2024? According to the results of these two new polls, he should be.
For months Trump has repeatedly hinted at launching another presidential campaign, likely teeing up a rematch against Democrat President Joe Biden. While Trump has yet to make any formal announcement, doing so would force him to adhere to strict campaign finance laws he's made his interest crystal clear.
However, a recent poll from Emerson College shows that Biden still maintains a slight lead over his predecessor, a sign of trouble on the horizon.
The Hill reports:
The results showed Biden with 43 percent of the vote to Trump's 42 percent, with 8 percent planning to vote for someone else and 6 percent undecided. Spencer Kimball, the executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in the announcement of the results that this is the first Emerson poll this year in which Biden leads Trump in such a match-up.
Compared to Emerson's poll on the head-to-head last month, Biden improved by 2 points and Trump fell two.
The poll found voters are closely divided over whether the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago property earlier this month for presidential records, including some classified and sensitive documents, made them more or less likely to support him. Thirty-six percent of respondents said they were less likely to support him, 30 percent said they were more likely and 34 percent said the search has no effect on their opinion.
Biden's approval rating in the poll rose 2 points to 42 percent, while his disapproval rating dropped 2 points to 51 percent. Republicans kept the one-point lead in the generic congressional ballot that they had in last month's poll, leading 45 percent to 44 percent.
Respondents were also split on Biden's recent decision to forgive up to $10,000 in student loan debt for borrowers making less than $125,000 per year. Throughout Biden's 2020 campaign he pledged to address student loan forgiveness but some progressives say the administration hasn't appropriately focused on the issue. The Emerson poll reported that 36 percent of respondents said Biden's student loan forgiveness plan goes too far, 35 percent said it is the right amount of action, and 28 percent said it does not go far enough.
Half of all respondents listed the economy as their most important issue, while abortion and health care each tied for second.
While Biden maintains a slight edge over Trump according to the Emerson College poll there is another survey that concerns Trump's potential success in 2024.
The latest YouGov poll reports that in a hypothetical 2024 match-up Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) stands a better chance of defeating Joe Biden as opposed to Donald Trump. (Related: Florida Politician Teases 2024 White House Run – And It's Not DeSantis)
According to a report from The Hill:
If the next presidential election comes down to a choice between Biden or Trump, the incumbent comes out on top at 39 percent to 36 percent. But pitted against DeSantis, Biden would end up in a closer race.
In that scenario, 36 percent said they would support Biden, while 35 percent would back the Florida governor.
Only 28 percent of respondents said that Trump should mount another bid for the White House, compared to 54 percent who said that he shouldn't. When it comes to another Biden campaign, only 21 percent said that he should run for a second term, while 55 percent said that he shouldn't.
The poll points to DeSantis' growing national profile and his ever-growing popularity which also shows how the Republican Party is slowly moving away from Trump.

I am all the way Trump. I believe that Biden has destroyed our country as it was and continues to destroy our freedom. This is my opinion.
Don’t believe this phony poll!
Think POSITIVE!!!
President Trump will be fine!!!
The Best is yet to come!!!!!
Yes, he will win by landslide if not cheated again. I don’t believe in distorted polls, it depends on the writer’s affiliation. When “Biden’s Exec. Order 14067 destroying our dollar rolls out, his supporters will cry and the corrupt mainstream will be totally exposed. God’s timing is always perfect.
This poll is BS like all of them!
“likely teeing up a rematch against Democrat President Joe Biden.”? Very unlikely Brandon will make it to ‘24, let alone run. Stop wasting brainpower on that comparison.
If you believe these polls, then you probably also believe that Biden got 81 million actual votes. Don’t give into the lies that the main stream media pushes around to each other. If you get discouraged on Trump because of the info they are putting out, then you are letting them win. We have got some of the most crooked politicians and they will do anything to keep Trump out so they can pass our hard earn tax money around till it gets back into their pockets. Just remember all the good things that Trump did as president. He is a tough and good man!
Diane (And most of you). The solution to pollution is dilution. Trump/Desantis 2024, Desantis 2028,2012. Twelve years of Conservatives wiping bugs off the windshield.
I cannot believe these polls; Trump is so far ahead of Biden, and it only make common sense… Who in the world would vote for Biden, just look around you! I rest my case!
It’s a crazy liege poll. The are all on the rake like the FBI / DOJ. They will say anything as long as it is pro Biden. And $$$$
Exactly!
I can’t believe anyone who has lived in America since the Biden/Harris administration commenced can seriously think of voting for them. It isn’t only Biden or Harris, it is the entire Democratic establishment along with their Woke followers, or maybe I have that relationship backward. Actually, looking at the names touted as possible democratic presidential candidates, there really isn’t anyone they can run since they all sat by while the Country was over run by un-vetted illegals, major drug cartels bringing deadly drugs across the unprotected border, funding a bogus inflation fighting bill…..and spewing their hate for half the Country. I have to quit my list now as it is too depressing and too true.
Joanne C. You are correct, depressing and disgusting performance of the Democrat govenance. No one in their right mind will vote for them, because they have deceived us all and look wht is happening…..
The dead, multiple voters and illegal aliens are very reliable.
Wow! If this isn’t propaganda I don’t know what is!! The polls must have been taken by Dems. Anyone with a working brain would never want the nightmare Biden is putting us through. Get real!
Yes, their forte…deception.lies and collusion.
This poll and it’s results are the reason most polls are regarded as of little relevance.. Based on the obvious, It has no credibility whatsoever except to bolster the ignorance of the uninformed. Of course the poll could have been taken on a select group and district.
As usual a biased propaganda poll taken by the left.
Rigged bias polling Game
I don’t believe this poll or any other leftist poll , I’m sure it’s completely skewed. Totally bogus , Trump will kick his ass. There’s no way anyone is voting to keep this disaster going another 4 years , this guy has done more damage in less than 2 years then any president in history!
Trump now and always, the never has been and there never will be any question!! We’ve needed a successful businessman in the President’s chair, his first 4 years proved that!! He does need help picking reliable people under him when he gets in office, that seems to be a real weak spot!!! Good Conservatives are very hard to find!!! You will notice I didn’t mention the other party—-RINOs, all shapes and sizes, are very easy to find!!! I am a Republican but I call myself a Conservative!!!
I don’t have any faith in polls at this early date. 43/42 is still within margin of error and will change as we get closer to 2024.
Sleep well guys!
TRUMP IS THE MAN. All this Liberal, Progressive College Crap is just that., a bunch of indoctrinated Snow Flakes that want “Something For Nothing.”
Let’s see here. We can vote Democrat and continue the destruction of our country, our economy and spirituality. Or we can vote for Trump and return the U.S. to the way it should be. Not a hard decision.
As someone that voted for Trump in both of his elections, I must say that if Trump is the GOP standard bearer in 2024, they will lose not only that race, but their chance this November to win the majority in either or both the house and senate.There is just too much hate all things Trump across this country, and it runs deep. for him to ever win.
I am all in for Trump. Everyone knows the 2020 election was stolen from him by the FBI and DOJ acting like 3rd world dictators in protecting the Biden crime family and poor Ashlee’s diary depicting her horrible home life with a miserable father and a mother who just wasn’t there for her. How these corrupt leaders and their lapdog media gets away with these illegal activities is beyond me. TRUMP HAS TO RUN AGAIN IN ORDER TO COMPLETE HIS MISSION OF CLEANING THE CRIMINAL SWAMP.
Who really believe the fake news polls? Just like the Covid Virus they skew the numbers just to keep the Democrat losers stimulated to go out and vote. I’m still on the Trump all American Train! Buckle up!
These important polls tell the Democrats how many FAKE ballots they need to win, just like in 2016!

Laughable poll!
Emerson College Polling predicts electoral landslide for Clinton

DeSantis brings very similar views as Trump without the negative personal traits of Trump.
A college poll – the bastions of libtardism – or is that communism…………….ya gotta be kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What will it take for Trump to beat Biden? An honest election where our corrupt federal government stays out election interference and states which don’t count and certify illegal votes.
If these polls are accurate, it’s over for the United States. Mainstream and social media have successfully destroyed the citizenry’s access to honest and timely information.
Despite the fact that I remain in Trump’s corner, I grow exhausted and sick of over 30 Trump messages each and every day campaigning for $$$$$$$. And HE IS NOT EVEN A CANDIDATE YET!
Rasmussen polling still shows Trump with a substantial lead over Biden. Emerson’s polling is an outlier and unreliable. Trump also outpolls De Santis by a wide margin.
WHERE ARE THESE POLLS COMING FROM? WE ALL KNOW THAT biden IS A BIG TIME CROOK…MY GOD…..IT IS SO OBVIOUS…GET HIM OUT OF HERE…HE IS ONLY HURTING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
Is this supposed poll telling me that 43 per cent of the people are that stupid
How about Obama kept documents for 6 years. There’s also Hillary!! When they had them shut off the cameras at Mar A Lago I don’t believe a word they say, just like Russia! I don’t believe any of these polls. I’m really getting irritated with them wasting OUR MONEY!
