Over the past month the most covered political story in America has been what we call the “Biden-Bragg-Colangelo” prosecution of President Trump.
This government-inspired circus has had a political impact: Donald Trump has strengthened politically, as Joe Biden has weakened.
Thus, after a year of indictments and legal targeting of Donald Trump and his allies, Trump still leads Biden in our latest poll Trump 47%, Biden 43%. [This national poll of 1,000 likely voters, +/-3.1% at the 95% confidence interval, was completed between May 9 and 15, 2024].
The polling data shows a majority of voters want the political prosecutions of Trump to stop. At the same time voters have factored Joe Biden’s legal persecution of Trump into their voting calculus.
Here are some takeaways:
- 66% of all voters say that politics has played a role in the indictments of President Trump.
- 59% of all voters say that Joe Biden has played a role in the indictments of President Trump.
- 53% of all voters think Joe Biden really wants to stop Donald Trump from winning by putting him in jail [only 33% say Biden doesn’t want to put Trump in jail].
After four years of Joe Biden, Americans know that they’re not better off.
Most voters are angry and the rest are worried.
So Donald Trump leads on the ballot and the remaining undecided vote have largely decided they are not voting for the incumbent.
That’s good news for Trump.
Some more takeaways:
- 68% of all voters say the country is on the wrong track.
- 80% of undecided voters say we’re on the wrong track.
- 57% of the voters disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as president.
- 81% among undecided voters disapprove the job Biden is doing.
When asked from a lengthy list of top issues 43% said economic ones mattered most.
