Well, if you’re a fan of President Joe Biden, I have some news for you, published by a liberal news rag, that is probably going to leave you feeling a bit melancholy. Who am I kidding? This is going to send progressives into the throes of despair and cause many a Democrat on social media to throw temper tantrums. According to a poll conducted by the New York Times/Siena College, former President Donald Trump is now tied nationally with current Commander-in-Chief Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 presidential matchup.
Breitbart News is reporting that the survey in question asked participants which candidate they would choose if the election were held right now, Biden, Trump, or some other individual running for the White House.
“Across the board, Trump and Biden are tied, as 43 percent chose Biden, and 43 percent chose the former president, who is dominating the Republican primary race. Four percent chose ‘another candidate,’ and six percent said they would not vote. Another four percent indicated that they did not know what they would do or refused to answer,” the report said.

“The survey shows Trump leading among white voters by ten points, while Biden leads among black voters by a 59-point margin. However, just three points separate the two among Hispanics, giving Biden a slight edge,” Breitbart continued. “Trump leads Biden among Catholics and Protestants as well as rural voters — the latter by a 21-point margin. Trump also edges out Biden among those who make under $100,000 per year, while Biden leads among those who make over $100,000.”
One of the reasons Trump is experiencing success in the polling data is that he has much more support from those who are in his own base, the Republican Party, than Joe Biden has with Democrats. Trump has 88 percent support from the GOP, while Biden has 83 percent from Democrats. In other words, the number of folks who aren’t on board with Biden is growing day-to-day, while Trump is staying steady or even gaining in support.
“Notably, the overall survey, which shows the two tied, slightly out-sampled Democrats, who made up 29 percent of the sample size compared to 27 percent of Republicans. Another 34 percent of respondents identify as independents,” Breitbart stated.
“[W]arning signs abound for the president: Despite his improved standing and a friendlier national environment, Mr. Biden remains broadly unpopular among a voting public that is pessimistic about the country’s future, and his approval rating is a mere 39 percent,” the NYT pointed out. “Perhaps most worryingly for Democrats, the poll found Mr. Biden in a neck-and-neck race with former President Donald J. Trump, who held a commanding lead among likely Republican primary voters even as he faces two criminal indictments and more potential charges on the horizon. Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump were tied at 43 percent apiece in a hypothetical rematch in 2024, according to the poll.”
The survey was conducted between July 23-27, 2023 and featured 1,329 registered voters with a plus or minus of 3.67 percent for the margin of error.
It’s likely we’re going to see a rematch of the 2020 presidential election and if that’s the case, Trump has more than a good chance of cinching a victory thanks to how badly he’s done in office and the obvious decline of his cognitive abilities. Let’s hope if that is indeed the scenario we are presented with in 2020, we come out with a president who is actually able to do the job.
