Former President Donald Trump got some more good news ahead of a potential 2024 rematch with President Joe Biden over the weekend.
According to a newly released Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey, Trump more than doubles support over Biden among Americans who did not vote in 2020.
“Among that group, 34 percent said they would vote for Trump in 2024 if he’s the candidate, while only 14 percent of people who didn’t vote in 2020 said the same about Biden,” Mediaite reported, citing the survey, which found both men were essentially tied at 41 percent support overall, with 11 percent undecided.
In addition, Trump bests Vice President Kamala Harris in a hypothetical matchup, but those results are within the margin of error, the outlet noted.
The survey found:
If Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were the 2024 nominees, 43% of Americans say they would vote for Trump (up 2%) and 40% say they would vote for Harris (down 1%). In this scenario, 10% say they don’t know how they would vote (down 1%).
The survey found that Harris did slightly better than Biden with people who did not vote in 2020, though Trump trounced her by double digits as well: “34 percent said they would vote for Trump in 2024 if he’s the candidate running against VP Harris, but Harris gets 19 percent of their support,” Mediaite adds.
Political experts note that an ‘enthusiasm gap’ often helps drive Americans to the polls if they are hyped up about a certain candidate.
Meanwhile, Biden’s job approval ratings continue to fall.
Last week, Biden’s job approval rating in an average of RealClearPolitics polls had for the first time in his presidency.
“A Real Clear Politics average of all the most recent national surveys measuring Biden’s standing put the president’s approval at 39% and his disapproval at 54%,” Fox News reported online.
