At worst, most political surveys are popularity contests; at best, they are reliable indications. The “baked-in” vote is unlikely to change given the type of support — and opposition — for both Biden and Trump, which brings us to our typical conclusion: voter turnout.
Numerous voters from both sides are already accusing the other of pulling out election-related antics.
With all of that stated, I happened to read an item in the Sunday New York Times. The terminally leftist Times acknowledged that as Biden keeps demonstrating why he is the worst president in American history, voters are remembering Trump’s administration “more positively.”
The Times went so far as to admit that Americans view Trump’s presidency as “rosier” than they do Biden’s dumpster fire, especially when it comes to the economy, the immigration crisis, and the law and order situation.
According to a new poll by The New York Times and Siena College, opinions of Donald J. Trump’s presidency have improved since he left office, supporting his candidacy and endangering President Biden’s plan to paint his rival as unsuitable for the post. Many voters now have a more positive impression of Mr. Trump’s handling of the economy, immigration, and upholding law and order, even as memories of his turbulent and chaotic administration have not greatly diminished.”
Just 39% of voters declared that the nation was better off after Mr. Trump entered office prior to the 2020 election. Looking back, about half of them claim that he made improvements while serving as president. The results of the poll highlight how some people have had second thoughts about the Trump administration because they saw it as a period of robust national security and economic growth. The change in opinion on his administration coincides with the fact that Mr. Trump is being charged with numerous felonies and will be appearing in court on Monday to select a jury for one of his four ongoing criminal cases in New York.”
Considering that it is from The New York Times, it becomes much more fantastic and surrealistic.
Do you have a seat? The Times also acknowledged that Trump’s government was “better for the country” than Joe Biden’s frighteningly inept clown car of a president.
“A lot of voters still perceive Mr. Trump as a volatile and divisive person, which hurts his chances of bringing the nation together and improving racial relations. However, a greater proportion of voters believe that Mr. Trump’s presidency has been better for the nation than the current one, with 42% of voters saying that Mr. Trump’s presidency has been mostly positive for the nation, compared to 25% who believe the same about Mr. Biden’s. The majority of people feel that the Biden years have not been good for the nation.
We now have a major left-wing newspaper agreeing with us, even if the objective and even somewhat intellectual among us have known all of this since at least the days of Joe Biden’s infamous 2020 basement campaign. That is really meaningful. Of course, the Times will keep doing everything in its power to undermine Trump, so that is one thing.
