Despite the criminal trial he faces, former United States President Donald Trump maintains an advantage at this point in the electoral campaign over the current occupant of the Oval Office, Joe Biden, a survey revealed on Sunday. Although some observers do not give much credence to the polls and report that there are several months left before the November 5 meeting, a new CNN opinion poll says that in the next rematch the numbers seem to work in Trump’s favor.
Support for the former governor in the survey among registered voters remains stable, at 49 percent if an alleged confrontation with Biden occurs, who has 43 percent support. With an evident short memory, those interviewed, looking back, maintain that the Republican’s presence was a success (55 percent), while 44 percent considered it a failure.
However, in a January 2021 study conducted before he left the White House and days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, 55 percent said Trump’s tenure as president was a fiasco.
Regarding Biden, when evaluating the time he has been in office, 61 percent estimated that he has been a failure and 39 percent described him as successful.
That’s slightly worse than the 57 percent who called his administration’s first year a disappointment in January 2022, and the 41 percent who praised his performance.
For Biden, his worst approval rating is for his handling of Israel’s war against the Palestinian Hamas movement in Gaza, which yielded 71 percent disapproval, including 81 percent disapproval among those under 35 and one disapproval. majority among Democrats (53 percent).
In the research, 65 percent of registered voters consider the economy extremely important to their vote for president, compared to 40 percent who thought this way at the beginning of 2020 and 46 percent who said the same in this moment in 2016.
Biden and Trump secured their respective parties’ nominations early. They should be made official at the national conventions that will be held in the summer.
From now on there are quite a few legal entanglements between lawsuits, lawsuits, countersuits that remain before the Republican, but nothing has affected, so far, his progress towards the goal of re-entering the residence on Pennsylvania Avenue.
