President Joe Biden is just getting hit over and over again with bad news when it comes to the 2024 general election, and while it might be causing him to lose sleep and curl up in the fetal position and suck his thumb like an infant, it’s a sign of hope for those of us who have been victimized by his ridiculously awful economic policies. We want this dude gone, baby, gone.
We’re all sick of the White House soap opera I not-so-affectionately call, “The Old and the Senile,” where we tune in daily to see how Biden will go about the destruction of the country or fall down the stairs, or if he’ll fumble, mumble, and bumble his way through a verbal cha-cha that sounds as if he took bits and pieces of phrases and threw them in random order.
So what’s the bad news?
According to the folks at The Daily Caller, former President Donald Trump got a sizable boost in the polls of several major battleground states including Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, according to data released on Wednesday.
Trump’s advantage grew in Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina since March, while he is now leading in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the latest Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll. The former president’s lead in Georgia remained the same, and his margin across all seven battleground states including Michigan also grew to six points in a head-to-head matchup with Biden.
The former president is now ahead by one point in Pennsylvania, four points in Wisconsin, six points in Georgia, seven points in Arizona, eight points in Nevada and ten points in North Carolina, the poll found. Trump is beating Biden 49% to 43% across all seven swing states.
The only battleground state that Biden leads Trump in is Michigan by two points after previously being tied in March, according to the poll. The two were also tied in Pennsylvania in the previous version of the survey, while Biden held a one-point lead in Wisconsin.
“With Republican enthusiasm skyrocketing, voters are ready to turn out for President Donald J. Trump this November,” Rachel Lee, spokesperson representing the Republican National Committee, went on to tell the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement. “Joe Biden is losing in battleground after battleground, and he knows it. Despite Biden’s best attempts to gaslight voters, they know exactly who is to blame for soaring costs, a spiraling border crisis, and staggering crime rates across the country.”
The poll also revealed that the majority of voters located in swing states have a pretty negative view of the economy, as 51 percent of those individuals think things will be even worse by the end of the year. Many of those who responded to the survey also say the economy is the most important issue ahead of the general election later this fall at 34 percent. Any guesses as to what came in second? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
If you said immigration, give yourself a round of applause because you are correct. A total of 15 percent of those surveyed feel this is a critical issue facing the nation. And why wouldn’t they believe that? Crime rates are spiking all over the place as thousands upon thousands of these folks come across the border every month, many of them with extensive criminal records.
“Some of the shine of the State of the Union address has worn off,” Matt Monday, senior manager of Morning Consult, said to Bloomberg. “People are really tying Bidenomics and their perception of the economy to the inflation rate.”
Trump held a 16-point advantage over Biden when swing state voters were asked which president the U.S. economy was better under, according to the survey. The former president holds a narrow lead of 0.2 points in the national RealClearPolitics average, as well as in six battleground states. Biden is ahead by only 0.4 points in Pennsylvania.
The Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll surveyed 4,969 registered voters across the seven swing states between April 8 and April 15 with a margin of error of plus or minus 1%.
“Individually, the survey included 801 Arizona voters, 802 Georgia voters, 708 Michigan voters, 450 Nevada voters, 703 North Carolina voters, 803 Pennsylvania voters and 702 Wisconsin voters. Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania saw margins of error of plus or minus 3%; Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin saw margins of error of plus or minus 4%; and Nevada saw a margin of error of plus or minus 5%,” the report said in conclusion.
