A recent CNN survey has brought surprising news for former President Donald Trump and his supporters. The poll indicates that Trump is currently leading Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 presidential race by six points, with Trump at 49 percent and Biden at 43 percent. This shift in support is attributed to independent voters favoring Trump by a nine-point margin. This indicates a significant boost for Trump’s chances in the upcoming presidential election.
Even CNN's New Poll Can't Deny Stunning New Numbers for Trump, Bad Ones for Bidenhttps://t.co/1N6iePftjx

When alternative third-party candidates are included in the poll, Trump’s lead over Biden increases to nine points, with Trump at 42 percent and Biden at 33 percent. This data poses a considerable challenge for Biden’s campaign and reflects positively on Trump’s prospects for a potential return to the White House. The presence of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 16 percent suggests that Trump commands a strong lead even in a more crowded field of candidates.
The survey also delves into the public’s perception of the two presidents’ tenures. The poll reveals that 55 percent of Americans view Trump’s presidency as a success, despite relentless criticism from the liberal media, while only 39 percent believe Biden’s time in office has been successful. These findings are a clear indication of Trump’s enduring popularity among a majority of Republicans and a significant portion of independent voters.
The poll sheds light on voters’ priorities, with 65 percent considering the economy to be of utmost importance in shaping their presidential vote. Biden’s dismal approval ratings on economic matters, including a mere 34 percent approval for his handling of the economy and 29 percent for managing inflation, represent a major liability for his administration. In contrast, a majority of voters who prioritize economic issues favor Trump over Biden in a head-to-head matchup.
These findings underscore a growing disillusionment with Biden’s leadership and a renewed support for Trump’s policies and stewardship of the economy. The results of the poll indicate a significant shift in public sentiment that could have far-reaching implications for the 2024 presidential election.
