In the upcoming 2024 election, there is talk about current President Joe Biden facing off once again with former President Donald Trump. Trump’s primary opponents initially used this as a criticism, but many have since endorsed him. Recent polls show a growing sense of nostalgia for Trump, with his approval rating at 48.3 percent, while Biden’s approval is at just 37.5 percent. Trump has even gained approval among key voter groups like college-educated women, married women, and black voters.

A recent poll by Cygnal revealed that Trump is ahead of Biden by 10 points in job approval numbers, and his approval rating has increased among various demographics. In contrast, Biden is struggling to maintain support among key voter groups, such as suburban voters, female college-educated voters, and black voters. Furthermore, the poll indicates that more voters view the Democratic Party as extreme, with 55 percent of black voters considering Democrats to be more extreme compared to the Republican Party.
The poll also highlighted specific issues that could impact the election, such as inflation, immigration, pro-Hamas protests, and Biden’s changes to Title IX rules. The majority of voters prioritize inflation and immigration as their top issues, both of which have been problematic for Biden. Additionally, a significant majority of voters oppose allowing pro-Palestinian demonstrators, who have called for violence, to hold protests on college campuses. This position is shared across various demographics, including voters under 44, liberals, and black voters.
Another concerning issue for Biden is his administration’s revision of Title IX rules, which a majority of voters disagree with, including Democrats and Biden supporters. The poll illustrates that Biden’s policies are not resonating with voters, particularly on issues related to women’s sports and ensuring protections for biological women. These findings suggest that Trump has the opportunity to gain support from voters who disagree with the Democratic Party’s approach to these issues.
Overall, the poll indicates growing support for Trump and discontent with Biden’s policies among various voter demographics. The upcoming election may see Trump capitalizing on these sentiments as he seeks to win back the presidency in 2024.
