Looks like 2024 election is repeat of 2020 (Biden vs Trump) with some differences

[LiveLife]

New CNN poll shows Biden 43% trailing behind Trump 49% despite the legal trouble factor "baked in" to polls by now with most of support falling from non-white voters compared to 2020 election with discontent expressed by voters in key swing states regarding economy/inflation. This is worst poll of recent polls.

71% disapprove Biden's handling of Israel-Hamas war with 81% disapprove ages from 18 to 34 (Majority of democrats disapprove). Most voters in new poll say "Biden's presidency has been a failure".

Biden is losing support from younger voters as he stands firm with Israel/Netanyahu and protest against Gaza war grows. More telling percentage numbers are Trump's success/failure rating of 55%/44% compared to Biden's 39%/61% with retrospective assessment of Trump's presidency continuing to improve (He was right about the wall, immigration, NATO countries not paying their share, etc.)

Donald Trump continues to hold an advantage over President Joe Biden according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. CNN’s Priscilla Alvarez explains and CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein weighs in.

We all already know that "NATIONAL polls/sentiment" DOESN'T MATTER as it's what voters in KEY SWING STATES that will DECIDE the outcome of the presidential election in November.

And DESPITE what EVERYTHING that's been thrown at Trump, he is STILL LEADING in key swing state polls. Just imagine where Trump would be if it wasn't for the endless smear campaign? Makes you wonder.

Snopes Fact Check: Multiple Polls Say Biden Is Least Popular US President in 70 Years - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/joe-biden-least-popular-president/

Claim: Public opinion polls released in April 2024 found Joe Biden to be the least popular U.S. president in 70 years.​

​

Rating: True​

• In April 2024, multiple outlets and social media accounts reported that Biden was the least popular president in 70 years
• Livemint business news site reported on Biden's declining popularity, stating he was the "most unpopular US President in 7 decades."
• Reddit post repeated the claim
• New York Post also covered Biden's low approval ratings, stating that, "Biden is the least popular president in 70 years — below even Nixon and Carter"
• Many of these reports pulled their data from polling analysis by Gallup, which conducted a public survey that found Biden's approval ratings were historically low, making him the least popular U.S. president since Dwight Eisenhower was in office in the 1950s.
• Gallup Poll: Biden's 13th-quarter approval average was, in fact, the lowest in modern history. The poll, conducted April 1–22, 2024, highlighted a downward trend in Biden's approval since he took office, with only 38.7% of American voters approving of his performance as president - https://web.archive.org/web/2024050...ter-approval-average-lowest-historically.aspx
• Gallup used an illustrative chart to show how Biden's approval rating compared to other U.S. presidents during their 13th quarter in office - https://web.archive.org/web/2024032...val-ratings-third-year-biden/#google_vignette
• FiveThirtyEight drew the same conclusions about Biden's unpopularity ... ongoing tracking of Biden's approval rating showed a consistent decline over time, with his May approval rating hovering around 37.8%, lower than that of his recent predecessors.
• Reuters, in a detailed graphic analysis published April 17, 2024, reported Biden's approval rating stood at 38%, a drop from 40% in March.
• Market research firm Ipsos reported in March that Biden's approval was at 40%
• The Hill and The Blaze reported on Biden's historically low approval ratings, corroborating the claim that his "approval rating average is lower than any other president in recent history at the same point in their time in the White House."

Conclusion: Multiple surveys and analysis released in April 2024 by Gallup and other pollsters concluded that Biden was indeed, at the time the polls were taken, the least popular U.S. president in 70 years.
