CNN poll shows dismal numbers for Biden

[Morphine Prince 109,712]

CNN — Donald Trump continues to hold an advantage over President Joe Biden as the campaign – and the former president’s criminal trial – move forward, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. And in the coming rematch, opinions about the first term of each man vying for a second four years in the White House now appear to work in Trump’s favor, with most Americans saying that, looking back, Trump’s term as president was a success, while a broad majority says Biden’s has so far been a failure.

Trump’s support in the poll among registered voters holds steady at 49% in a head-to-head matchup against Biden, the same as in CNN’s last national poll on the race in January, while Biden’s stands at 43%, not significantly different from January’s 45%.

Assessing Biden’s time in office so far, 61% say his presidency thus far has been a failure, while 39% say it’s been a success.

Biden’s approval ratings for the economy (34%) and inflation (29%) remain starkly negative, as voters say economic concerns are more important to them when choosing a candidate than they were in each of the past two presidential contests. In the new poll, 65% of registered voters call the economy extremely important to their vote for president, compared with 40% who felt that way in early 2020 and 46% who said the same at roughly this point in 2016. Those voters who say the economy is deeply important break heavily for Trump in a matchup against Biden, 62% to 30%.

In the Biden vs. Trump matchup, the poll finds Biden faring worse than in previous CNN polls among the youngest voters, trailing Trump by a 51%-to-40% margin among voters younger than 35. Biden’s deficit with voters in that group is driven largely by those who did not vote in 2020. With that group excluded, voters between the ages of 18 and 34 in this poll divide 46% for Biden to 47% for Trump. Although not all polls release crosstabs or use the same age breaks when reporting results, other recent polling has shown a wide range of results for younger voters in testing a matchup between Trump and Biden, ranging from an 18-point Trump advantage among those younger than 30 in the Fox News poll in mid-March up to a 21-point Biden advantage among those younger than 30 in the Pew Research survey earlier this month.

I'd go as far as to say this is an outlier poll. Most other polls do not paint such a grim picture.

This also confirms polling young voters isn't accurate at all.

I think younger voters are the voters most likely to vote for 'not X'. Biden doesn't represent the ideals of most of his voters, particularly the younger voters. Many voted for him because they wanted Trump out. Unfortunately, I have a feeling there's a good portion of those voters who are going to vote for Trump now for that very reason, or because for some reason they felt he was better.

This poll, and essentially every other poll released thus far, is utterly USELESS. 

I don’t even know a single soul who’s been polled. I’ve been active and engaged in politics since 2008 and I have never met anyone who has — my point? 

Who are they polling to get these results?

Yes we've been talking about this in another thread.

Many polls have been indicating young voters are no longer a reliable democratic base.

I really do wonder why people focus on certain polls 6 months before an election. How about vote and let’s see what happens.

But the polls aren’t accurate. As this article mentions, the polls aren’t really consistent. 

And as someone who is in this voter demographic, it’s also not reality among people I know across the political spectrum.

I’m sick of living in a country with so many short-sighted, uneducated voters. I think it’s time to cash in on my dual citizenship and move somewhere in the EU

As if the situation is better in Europe. Did you see who won the dutch elections and who's predicted to win the next french eletions?

Hence the word somewhere, that’s the beauty of EU citizenship, I have so many options. And at the end of the day, the idea of being able to go to the grocery store without the real and constant fear of someone with a machine gun coming in and killing you as would be the case in most of the EU countries vs the US sounds pretty nice.

Polls like this mean nothing 

[djBuffoon 12,239]

Vote, people. Just vote (for Biden, because the alternative is literally country-ending).

I'm not into politics so forgive my ignorance. If Trump is elected, will he be able to run for reelection in 2028?

[LadyxGaGa 3,223]

ngl this one seems more exhilarating than the 2016 one 

 

idk if it’s just like final battle of the two but i can tell a lot of peeps are on the edge of their seat with anticipation

Under current law, no, he would not. Nor ever again.

I could easily see Trump trying to change that law (nearly impossible, it would require a constitutional amendment), and I could also see him trying to just ignore it, like he did with the results of the 2020 election.
