Poll has contradictory results on 2024 race for president
President Biden would expand his 2020 margin of victory over former President Donald Trump if a rematch were held today, according to a new poll exclusively shared with The Post Wednesday.
The WPA Intelligence survey of 1,571 registered voters found Biden, 80, leading 76-year-old Trump 47% to 40%. By comparison, Biden defeated Trump by 4.5 percentage points in the 2020 popular vote, while former President Barack Obama won re-election over Republican Mitt Romney by 3.9 percentage points in 2012.

Only 39% of registered voters have a favorable impression of the commander-in-chief, with 54% having an unfavorable impression.
Also, just 22% believe the country is on the right track, whereas 78% believe it is on the wrong track.
However, Trump’s ratings are even worse, with 32% of registered voters having a favorable impression compared to 62% with unfavorable impressions.
The 45th president fared even worse among independents, with just 21% having a favorable impression and 71% having an unfavorable impression.

It is not clear when the polling was done, but it is likely that some of it was before the Durham report was released showing how Democrats and the FBI pushed the fraudulent Russian collusion hoax. Republicans challenging Trump for the nomination were not mentioned in this report.

As USA Today wrote, “in a hypothetical 2024 general election matchup, Biden is falling behind Trump, with 44% of voting-age respondents saying they would either ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ vote for Trump while 38% say the same for Biden. Meanwhile, 18% are undecided.”
Biden’s age and mental health issues are major problems. In the Post-ABC poll, just 32% said he has the “mental sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president” and 33% said he’s “physically fit to serve.”
Meanwhile, 64% say Trump is physically fit enough to be president, and 58% say he’s mentally fit enough. It’s a very bad comparison for Biden. In a head-to-head matchup, Trump beats Biden 49% to 42%.
Worse still, potentially, for Biden is the ongoing congressional probe into allegations that he was bribed by foreign nations while serving as vice president under Barack Obama.
