The talk of the town this weekend was something that actually woke the Democrats up out of their coma of pompous self-satisfaction. The Washington Post and ABC News released a new poll showing not just that President Joe Biden’s disapproval ratings have skyrocketed, but that – – gasp! –- former President Donald Trump leads him for the presidency by a stunning 10 points.
Many in the media were gobsmacked. Martha Radditz at ABC started off the “This Week” panel conversation on Sunday by noting, “Whatever caveats, whether that is an outlier, that’s a tough one to spin.”
Revealing the deliberate ignorance from the left and those who hate Trump so much their critical thinking is nonexistent, Larry Sabato, a pollster and director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics who is known for perpetual nursing of his Trump Derangement Syndrome, posted this on X about the poll: “Ignore the Washington Post – ABC poll. It’s a ridiculous outlier (Trump up 10 over Biden—laughable). My question: How could you even publish a poll so absurd on its face? Will be a lingering embarrassment for you.”
This from the same guy that told CNN in October 2016 that Hillary Clinton would win the presidential race with 352 electoral votes. The actual total was Trump with 306 versus Hillary’s 232. Lingering embarrassments indeed.
We’re supposed to ignore the Trump/Biden lead number, but there’s even more to the story which explains how that 10-point gap came to be. ABC described their own poll this way: “President Joe Biden’s job approval rating is 19 points underwater, his ratings for handling the economy and immigration are at career lows. A record number of Americans say they’ve become worse off under his presidency, three-quarters say he’s too old for another term and Donald Trump is looking better in retrospect — all severe challenges for Biden in his reelection campaign ahead.”
Yikes!
Axios adds, “In the Post-ABC poll, 44% said they’re worse off — the most for any president in the poll since Ronald Reagan in 1986… A majority of voters polled in the Post-ABC poll felt the economy; prices of food, energy and gas; the unemployment rate; and average wages were all either “poor” or “not so good… 91% agreed the cost of food was a negative. 87% felt the same about gas and energy prices… 74% are concerned about the state of the U.S. economy, and 75% about wages.”
Telling people to ignore the results, or that they’re meaningless, or are somehow false, reinforces the media and political establishments’ obsession with making every American a forgotten man and woman. Trump elevated ‘ordinary’ people, those who made this nation possible and have kept us, and the world, free for over 200 years. For the current Masters of the Universe, Job #1 is to forget us, again.
From the start of their basement campaign in 2020 replete with lies they told us about Biden, his condition, and the madness of their policy intentions, the Biden circus just couldn’t stop. In their frenzy to gaslight the American people they hypnotized themselves instead with absurdities like the border is closed, the economy is fine, crime is exaggerated. And let’s not forget the doozy that Biden and his family are the most honest, trustworthy, and law-abiding people on Earth. Crooked Joe’s commitment to pronouns is just the cherry on top of this utopian sundae. Their willful lack of empathy for the American people is one more example of their determined malevolence.
A word of caution is due as we all know polls can be fickle friends. We’ve learned election after election that polls can be manipulated or simply flat out wrong due to bias. The growing reluctance of people to speak their minds and give their opinions to strangers on the phone in our world of threats, harassment, and cancellation by the left, doesn’t help.
But polls do serve a very important purpose in that while we can’t rely on them to predict the outcome of a race, they can show us trends and trajectories on a larger scale. This is one of those times.
A national poll showing President Trump 10 points up on Biden can’t directly reflect the outcome of the presidential race because the election relies on the electoral college via state races. But what this poll and the others do show us is the mood of the country, and how Trump and Biden are being perceived.
Also significant is the poll reveals all the happy talk lies of the White House through the summer touting Bidenomics, trying to convince people that everything was fine with the economy, has failed. They found none of us are waiting to be told how to feel about life and the damage Biden’s cronies have inflicted on us.
These poll numbers, which have so shocked the establishment darlings, also illustrate our disgust with the tactics of the Democrats against Trump, their main political opponent, and his supporters. Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist writes, “The strategy of indicting political opponents was supposed to help Democrats wage political warfare in an environment where their policies have led to open borders, endless war, pro-crime district attorneys, and economic malaise. These outcomes are exceedingly unpopular. On top of the policy failures, they’re trying to imprison their top political opponent and keep him off the ballot.” Moreover, she notes, “it reminds Americans of how absolutely reckless and dangerous they’re being.”
Democrats have options other than those who are pandering to their most extreme elements and trying to pit Americans against each other. We may disagree with a great deal of what Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Joe Manchin advocate, but they are reminders that the various cranks in the party are not of the classical liberal tradition and have warped the party into an America Last machine For all of our sakes, Democrats can, and must, demand better from their own party.
There are warnings for Republicans as well in this and other polls: Get out of your bubble, take the American people seriously, be genuinely interested in what is happening in our lives, and articulate policy and plans to get this nation back on her feet. Trump and the other Republicans candidates put America, and Americans, first. Courtesy of Biden, we now know what the opposite is, and we don’t like it one damn bit.
Excellent article.
President Trump is the logical and sane choice.
President Trump loves our country. Dictator Beijing biden and the democrats hate America and are doing everything they can to keep DESTROYING the USA (Illegal Alien Terrorist Invasion and KILLING our Energy Independence, Espionage and Treason, etc.).
President Trump had our Borders Secured and an awesome economy with us being Energy Independent, Strong Military, Number One in the World, and the World was at Peace being the Safest it has ever been since WWII.
With Dictator Beijing biden and the democrats the USA is LAST and the LAUGHING STOCK of the World with WWIII on the brink.
So most definitely I am Voting for President Trump who is a REAL AMERICAN and puts the AMERICAN people first.
OF COURSE HE IS because HE HAS THE HEART THAT MOST CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS HAVE, but……….and I hate to say this, but be warned. THE DEMOCRATS have already begun to sabotage the upcoming elections by placing people in local Election Boards to guide Biden through to victory in any conceivable way they can, including voter fraud.
SATAN IS ALIVE AND WELL AND WORKING VERY HARD TO DESTROY THE LAST GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD – – AMERICA, no longer home of the free and brave, but now RULED BY DEMONIC MINIONS OF SATAN. But, do not lose hope. JESUS IS COMING EXTREMELY SOON. Then, they can have it ALL. I WON’T CARE BECAUSE I WILL BE GONE. Can you say with me, “PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!”
MARANATHA!
Why are Americans surprised at this????!!!!
After Nancy Pelosi tried her damdest to destroy his Presidency & now with the horrible failure of the Biden gaff joke, it’s well apparent that Trump is desperately needed to get this country back on track!!! DUH!!!
Well, I am a Christian and I was going to vote for TED CRUZ back in 2015. For months I prayed about it and the Holy Spirit told me NOT TO VOTE FOR TED CRUZ and I was baffled. The Lord told me I WAS LOOKING AT THE OUTSIDE OF A PERSON AS WELL AS THEIR PAST. After much prayer, I asked the Lord who HE thought was worthy. The Lord told me, DONALD J. TRUMP. I was dumbfounded because I knew of his 2 failed marriages, his often bad language and I knew at one, he was a Democrat. I asked the Lord WHY. He told me that HE COULD SEE TRUMP’S HEART AND SOUL and that the Lord could help Trump put America back under GOD and the CONSTITUTION (not in those exact words).
So, I took that to mean that THERE ARE A LOT OF HARDHEARTED PEOPLE in politics that the Holy Spirit cannot penetrate because Satan owns them in some way. But, Trump’s heart was the RIGHT heart that GOD could use to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, to draw Americans back to righteousness and TRUTH.
Now, a lot of you may not believe me. I really don’t care at my age. I LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, not man. So, I voted for Trump and many many people did when the Democrats did not expect him to win (their sabotage had not yet begun, so the Lord told me). TRUMP WAS TRUE TO EVERY WORD HE SAID. One problem with Trump was, in my estimation, was that HE TRUSTED THE WRONG PEOPLE (covid, Generals, etc.). I THINK HE NOW UNDERSTANDS WHAT HE MUST DO TO GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION and that is exactly what the Dems are afraid of, so THEY WILL LIE, DECEIVE, AND CONVINCE PEOPLE OF THE OPPOSITE. That is how Satan works.
TRUMP IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES, WHO IS WORTHY ENOUGH TO WIN. All the others have BAD BAGGAGE, Pence (CINO), Vivek (ANTI-ISRAEL), and all the others are BLOVIATING and do NOT have the right heart that God can work with.
America: THIS 2024 IS THE LAST ELECTION AMERICA WILL EVER SEE AND IF YOU DO NOT VOTE FOR THE RIGHT PERSON, THE PROVEN PERSON, THEN YOU WILL BE LEFT TO WONDER what happened AFTER AMERICA FALLS……………..HARD. Of course, the Dems are INCREASING THEIR EVIL, so I pray every day that GOD’S TRUTH PREVAILS as it always has.
President Trump is the only one that can get our country back for We The People. There is no one else that can accomplish what he can. I don’t care what anyone else thinks or says. Trump 2024 all the way!
Excellent article and absolutely true. And NO, we don’t like what the democrats are trying to perpetrate on us. The persecution of President Trump is off the charts hateful, mailicious and ridiculous in the extreme. It needs to be STOPPED.
Anyone who pays utility bills, puts gas in their car, or buys groceries knows that our economy is out of control. Thats just one of many of Bidens failures. Sorry Biden, you can’t blame Trump, you’ve had your chance and now its time for you to go to the nursing home.
Be very CAREFUL with these numbers! Could the WaPo be running a psy ops poll? I don’t put ANYTHING beyond the chicanery of the anti-Trump media! Hopefully, these numbers are real AND the people will go out and VOTE in such numbers that the DIMMs can’t cheat enough to overcome it!
Let’s play like we are ten points DOWN and keep pushing ahead at full force!
D
Even die hard Democrat friends of mine admit that we are much worse off since Trump left office. The media has been non-stop in their hatred of Trump but average Americans are feeling the pain from the poor policy decisions of the radical left transmitted through the Biden Administration. The economy, our foreign policy, our military, our public school systems and our border security are all worse off under Biden. So after demonizing Trump for so long people are now realizing that his policies were much better for America. Wow, hard to believe….
I tend to believe that the dying, wounded bear is the most dangerous. We need to be vigilant against the Left in their Death Throes.
Ohhh. . .here we go again. More polls giving sane people hope and preaching to the choir. Remember obama’s second term? Yeah. . .the polls were hopeful then too. What’d we end up with? Four more years of a president who won the nobel prize for being black and cartels greasing the palms of what used to be The People’s House.
The American taxpayer is screwed. There is no light at the end of the tunnel due to fraudulent voting and incredibly stupid people who vote for candidates with dementia. Elections are now decided by a very Marxist media. We have no voice. Plan accordingly.
Four years ago, I could afford to buy a new Harley; today I can’t afford the gasoline. Joe Biden Blues.
That is because everyone is realizing just how corrupt the entire democrat party is and how ridiculous the leftists ideas are.
If your on the left you believe in bullsh*t.
This is NOT a surprise, President Trump cares about America and Citizens, end of story.
Eventually the lies,failures,immorality, hate, preying on children,and destruction of OUR COUNTRY by the marxist democrat party is going to end!
Only the Ignorant Fools are shocked. But just a reminder that 2020 was rigged and it was proven so, and nothing was done about. Don’t get overconfident because they got away with it once there’s no doubt that they’ll try it again. All Republican voters including all the Rhino supporters need to come together and support Trump. Those that are fed up with what’s going on and aren’t registered to vote must get registered and VOTE. Our country’s wellbeing is at stake and only Donald Trump has the Brass to change things and he proved himself in his 4 years in the White House. If you don’t support Donald Trump and do not vote, then keep your mouths shut because you have no right to say anything.
Polls can be manipulated don’t accept this as a reflection of the mood in this country. As soon as we see a poll that shows the policies of the democrats is rejected i’d believe this poll. Only ole Joe is still approved off by 39% of the people. Personalities don’t run the country. Does everyone polled think that de dems do a good job, with the border, our economy, the migrant question, the fentanyl problem, the cartels, the homelessness in out inner cities, rising crime, emptying our jails, corrupt justice system, mandating vaccines, electric cars and appliances, taking children away from their parents for the most amoral reasons, brainwashing the kids with CRT, mandating what drs can say to their patients, and most of all dividing this country and getting us deeper into debt. Do a poll about that.
Those with COMMON SENSE will VOTE REPUBLICAN
I’d love to see Biden stay in the race, but I fear the Dems might replace him with someone who has a better chance of winning, but could still be controlled. Even on the Left many are more middle-of-the-road and wouldn’t be easy to control by extremists like they are now. My wife fears it might be Michelle Obama, that many love her (UGH!). Hillary is too old so not a problem. I only hope we still have a country left and that we’re not in another war by Jan. 2025!
You can bet that the Governor of CA, Newsom will be running for President. As if he has a State to be proud of with what he has let happen to it. But he is talking about cleaning it up now that he will be running. This man is more worthless than Joe.
Here’s a thought. It’s pre-planned that biden, for all his wonderfully, successful, accomplishments since stumbling into the white house. Will fold at the last minute and be replaced by………wait for it. Crooked hillary? No! Michelle, aka Mike obama. And the left will swoon. As will the never Trump’ers. And all the unions. Lest we forget, yes, biden has been a terrible individual to assume the mantal of “The most powerful leader of the free world”. But, everything he has done, is exactly what obama would have done if he had thought he could get away with it. And another obama in the w/h would be like a 4th term for barry. Should this come to pass, watch the media say that another obama is our only choice as they bring up every lie they have touted over the years about President Trump. AND, tell everyone what a great 4 years we’ve had with biden & what’s her name, as well as remise about how the 8 years of obama were the most transparent and the greatest presidency in history. Don’t forget, michelle was only proud to be an America after barry was elected.
Our hope, the hope for our country, really depends on former President Trump selecting the running mate that can help to unite the fractured republican party and attract the people that are swayable. The cheating WILL continue on the left and must be counter by real action from a united conservative party. Throw out the middle roaders and the rhinos. Get control of the local political situations. The left would really like CA to be the template for the USA. They play the long game while conservatives bicker amongst themselves.
PS Capitol letters, or in this case, lack of capitol letters reflect my distain for certain individuals and organizations. It is not a lack of education or upbringing. Although, I guess age could have a small part to play.
One thing for sure is that people were a lot happier under President Trump and Had EXTRA MONEY and Not Depressed and BROKE like they are under Dictator Beijing Biden.
The World was a lot SAFER with President Trump too.
Today, September 27, 2023, we sit on the Brink of WWIII.
Doesn’t take a genius to see who the WINNER is.
Honestly, after reading many of others’ posts……I believe that the Republicans in office are as corrupt as the Democrats. Not every one of either party but the majority of them. But what they CAN do if they wanted to protect WE the People is to call this what it is. The Biden administration is committing T r e a s o n by letting our southern border be INVADED!!! YES it IS an INVASION. With way too many gotaways, there have been and they do nothing to stop it. They tell the border patrol guys to go cut the wires so the illegals can come into our country. But do you think the Republicans will do anything to stop it? H E L L NO. We are losing our country. We are not going to be allowed to have another election if we let this go any further. Our Constitution tells us we have the right to abolish a tyrannical gov. How do we do that when it takes the F B I to do it? We need answers, not dooms day negativity.
My vote will be for President Trump we do not need Biden and Harris in the White House. Biden is the worst president there ever was look what our country is like now since he took office very sad President Trump had this country on track and the Dems in Washington could not stand that yet they will lie about Biden they know he cannot run this country and for sure not that vice president . We need change before it is to late.
Ill add this to that great article- it is said that there’re significant numbers of people who would vote conservative if they voted, but they’re not even registered. Hopefully some of them will see the urgency and get off their duffs. Many are religious folk who think they’re above the muck. If the Rapture comes soon they will be but if not, they, their kids and gkids will most definitely be in the muck.
Did the Progressively have Democrats REALLY THINK that the general populace including middle class Democrats were going to “rally” around Joe’s BIDENOMICS which included Double and in some cases Triple the costs of Gasoline, Food, Housing and Utility prices? Even the STUPID learn even if it’s the hard way!
Vote for Democrats and you will own nothing and be happy about it. Oh yes, you will be eating nourishing insects and you will be happy about that too!
Dear Tammy and the world:
Thank you for writing what you did Tammy. I have so tried to warn people about what would happen on this country since I returned from working (health care) in the soviet union and the middle east (1992). I also was with the Army in Germany as a civilian when 911 hit. My husband who was born in Berlin in 1938 has had a lot of flashbacks recently to the end of WW II and then growing up under joseph stalin in east germany. He knows a lot about living under communism!
I also need to do a public apology to the IT department at AMAC as I could not find a comment I had written about the senate and the dresss code. I went through the comments again and found it in the 2 days old group. I clicked on the newest and I saw thatalmost all had no votes. I feel that this is a shame as they have so much to say also, Anyway I went back 15 hours on both the “most voted” and the “newest” the day I had done the survey with AMAC but I could not find it although I did find the comments around mine.
Getting bak you wote Tammy I shall vote for TRUMP no matter if I have to write his name in on the ballot. I hope I can live long enoigh to be able to vote in 2024. LOL
Thank you, Carol
The Presidency, though extremely important for us to consider, is only ONE of the many things we as Americans need to be focused on and ready to do something about. It is apparent that far too often, lawbreakers reside among the lawmakers, and WE MUST DEMAND that they be taken into account.
WE MUST DEMAND accountability from elected representatives, to DO THEIR JOB, which is to represent the people of their districts and states.
WE MUST DEMAND that those in government see themselves, not as leaders, masters and nannies, but simply in the position to uphold our Constitutional values and do what is right as the people who elected them sent them to do.
WE MUST DEMAND that government become smaller and the American Citizen be raised up and allowed to live in freedom, unfettered from an over-mandated, over-taxed and over-nanny-ed country.
WE MUST DEMAND that taxation without REAL REPRESENTATION must end, and that any tax collected is ONLY USED TO ENHANCE AND PROVIDE FOR AMERICANS.
We MUST DEMAND, especially at the local level, access to any and all proceedings by elected officials that directly affect our daily way of life, be it a school board or a town committee or US Congress, and hold accountable those who would DENY our rights to govern our own space, families and finances.
WE MUST DEMAND that the circus pull up stake and leave town, because I for one, and I believe that far too many Americans, do not recognize our country, and would like to have sanity restored, freedom allowed and appreciated, and be relieved of the overburden of the tax system AT ALL LEVELS.
We can all talk about the obvious but this nation will be saved by God. Why else do you think the whistle blowers are coming out of the woodwork and all the corruption is now being exposed; it wasn’t anything a person or party has done and the socialist democrats certainly didn’t want it to happen. The communist democrats can’t stop what God has initiated. Yes, God will work through President Trump and others but the victory is HIS. What the enemy tries to do with the next election won’t matter because GOD has got this. Once we get through all this political garbage, the future of America will be very good. Just watch what GOD will do!
Is it legal for the democrats to take Donald Trump off the ballot in some states? It is terrible what the democrats (at the direction of Joe Biden) are doing to Trump. There are charges that should be slammed against Joe Biden but nothing has happened.
Polls mean absolutely nothing if the Dems manipulate the ballots and count votes without impartial supervision. NOTHING!
Thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed your article. It sums up where I believe the MAJORITY of American Citizens find themselves.
SO,SO tired of the repeated lies of the democrats,bureaucrats and pretend Republicans. ALL of them have pushed regular God Family and Freedom loving people as far as we can stomach. It’s OK for America and Citizens to be First, there is no shame in Our religious,moral and family believing in morals, love,equality,Our children and the Golden rule.
America and all people are better being first. Nothing at all wanting it for Ourselves and OUR COUNTRY!
NEVER accept or surrender to anything less, this is AMERICA
Just have to add if we don’t FIX our elections, our TRUE votes won’t count! Get involved in your state: Cause of America, Election Integrity Network or True the Vote are 3 organizations to contact. We need people to work on and stand together on our election processes as the VOTING SYSTEMS ARE RIGGED. Insist on PAPER BALLOTS! NO ballot harvesting! ONE day voting! NO mail-in ballots except for military and people working overseas. State politicians need to be held accountable for their wonky opaque voter rolls and systems.
If you don’t VOTE TRUMP, you ain’t AMERICAN!
The Demoncrates HATE America. How do I know this? It’s in their policies: NO border control, exorbitant spending, poor educational systems, being woke, men in women’s sports, children being mutilated, fentanyl, high crime and inflation. And these are just the tip of the iceberg. We must put AMERICA FIRST or we won’t have a country for ourselves OR to help others.
Fact is that the slugs of the democrat party are exercising their ‘right’ to be as white privilege partakers. Sunlight on the dirty slobs is the best disinfectant, and that’s where that’s at.
I hope that the demorats continue their smug disbelief of the reality of Trump easily defeating Biden. It is the onset of a landslide!
I hope all these politicians who are behind this horrific act of taking America down realize they won’t be regaled for it, they will go down in history as the monsters they are just as Hitler and the rest were. And they didn’t live long to enjoy it either, thankfully. Life is a b * t c h!! And they will get the worst of it.
I’m not surprised he is leading. He had the votes last time. He is the most popular candidate. However, how do you win an election when cheating and fraud abound and nothing is done about it?
tar and feather them as we the people run them out of town shut it down!!!! wake up america out they go TRUMP THRUMP
If New York can remove all business licenses for President Trump just because they hate him, Democrats reign supreme by breaking arms. As long as they are supreme, anything they do is OK (with them). What about the plain people of America?????
****WE MUST****do MORE than just type on the internet!
1—-speak to every like minded person, make SURE they are registered to vote and if now take them to do it NOW.
2—speak calmly and with correct proven info to those in the middle as THEIR VOTES WILL BE THE DECIDERS. Explain how Trump is the PROVEN one to fix our issues. DONT use any crap like Obama is running things.
3—-ALL of us need to get at least 2-3 other people registered and when the time comes we MUST get them to the polls!
4—-pass this info on using EVERY site you belong to. It took me 5 minutes to write this up-surely you can donate that amount of time.
5—talk to people who say “my vote doesn’t count so….”——-tell them if just a few thousand more repubs had voted in the NY race for Governor Hochul would NOT have won—it was that close in a state that consistently runs deep blue!
*******************
IT IS ON——US——most republicans in office are also against Trump and the GOP certainly is NOT going to help him-so WE have to!
*******************
People fail to realize is that both parties are against president Trump. Globalist and elitist as well as CCP are using them to take away our freedoms and all of our rights. They want all the power to themselves and we the people submit to their will. They want a banana republic like Venezuela and China. Wake up America. We need go after the globalist and elites. They are criminals!
Oh-oh, careful! If Trump gets too popular they’ll start LOCKING US UP!
The only poll that counts is election day and the makeup of our government tells us how this is going to turn out.
What drugs have the Dems. been taking? They are delusional for sure.
Bingo!!!!!
Well, they better start paying attention to the other candidates on the Republican ticket and learn something besides this lowest common denominator nonsense.
If that poll is correct just shows the democrats will need more fraud to steal another election.
It does not matter how far ahead Trump is; the Democratic Party bosses in the major cities of the swing States will decide who will be elected president in the 2024 election, and they will not choose Trump.
Should someone start a givesendgo for Trump’s legal costs? Campaign contributions may not be legally usable. No gofundme after what they did to the truckers.
If Trump’s not on the ballot, I’m not voting!
