Here’s more good news for Joe Biden that the media won’t tell you about
Now that the former guy is considered to be the defacto nominee of the Republican Party for 2024, we’re starting to see things shake up, as they were always going to. For some time, the media squawked that we were doomed to another Donald Trump presidency – that somehow now he’s more powerful than he ever was as president and in a matter of time we’ll have to suffer everything the Republicans have been plotting for decades.
The problem with this storyline about what will happen if the former guy retakes the White House, however, is that it’s also become less likely, and the latest round of polls show President Biden either tied or in the lead, a trend so consistent it’s revealed in the most recent 14 polls.
While we should never put too much emphasis on what one particular poll shows us, the overwhelming majority of polls released this month suggest that things have turned around for not just President Biden, but congressional Democrats who are now showing a clear lead in the 2024 elections, and there’s more than just polling data to suggest why this is the case.
A number of people are feeling more confident about the economy than they were just a short month ago, with gains in wages and employment. Let’s also bear in mind that as voters come to realize what the race will actually be in 2024, with a Biden v. Trump rematch becoming more likely, they’ll be more likely to commit to one side or the other. While things are looking good for Democrats, let’s also bear in mind that polls are largely a snapshot in time, and that victory hinges on our own ability to get people to vote. Let’s remember that and win in 2024.
