According to a recent poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, former President Donald Trump would defeat current President Joseph Biden in a hypothetical contest in the year 2024. In the hypothetical 2024 presidential election, respondents were asked about which presidential candidate they would vote for, Donald Trump or Joe Biden. With 48 percent of the vote, Trump is in the lead over Biden’s 44 percent. Around 48% of respondents said they would vote for Trump, with 34% saying they “certainly” would, compared to 33% for Biden.
It’s the general consensus that Dems are content with Biden in a Trump rematch. But this poll undermines Biden’s central argument for re-nomination.
Two years is forever and it’s just one poll, but if he’s faring this poorly after a string of wins, that should be worrisome. https://t.co/n57XDeGtIe

Among undecided voters, Trump has a 6-point edge (43% to 37%). Trump keeps his edge, 48% to 43%, as compared to his opponent, Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for vice president. Yet when asked whether they would “support” Trump’s nomination in 2024, 76 percent of Republican primary voters indicated they would. 46% of those surveyed identified as “highly” likely to do so. In addition, 57% of respondents indicated they would support Trump’s candidacy in 2024.

The survey was conducted between February 17 and 23, 2023, and it follows past surveys that show a close contest between the two, with Trump narrowly edging out the 80-year-old president on numerous occasions.
If the Democrats have to face Trump again, they’d be happy with Biden as their candidate. This poll, however, disproves a key part of Biden’s case for another run for the presidency. Former Obama cabinet member Julián Castro said of a recent ABC-Washington Post survey, “Two years is a long time and it’s just one poll, but if he’s faring this poorly after a streak of wins, that should be worrying.”
