A new survey by ABC News and the Washington Post finds fat former President Trump up by 15 points over President Biden in a 2024 matchup among respondents in the 18 to 35 year old respondents in the sample, exposing a serious danger for the incumbent in a key demographic.
Good morning!
The latest ABC/Washington Post Poll has Trump beating Biden by 10% and they are desperately scrambling trying to call it an “outlier.”
It’s not an outlier. The elitist Left and their stenographers in the mainstream media should talk to more voters across America.… pic.twitter.com/sH13O3M82C

Ahem. Seriously, do not worry about this result. It’s complete bullshit. That they would even publish it with that garbage finding speaks to something deeply wrong with how the mainstream media conducts polls these days. Now that doesn’t mean the race won’t be too close for comfort, but in no universe does Trump hold the prohibitive lead the “horserace” circlejerkers and their allies on the right want you to believe – that it’s “not an outlier” and to abandon all hope for the future.
ABC’s write-up goes on at length over-explaining why they published these findings, almost like they’re trying to convince themselves. “In one example of message-sending, among people who say Trump should be prohibited by the US Constitution from serving again as president, 18 percent also support him over Biden for 2024. Such people seem to be expressing their antipathy toward Biden, not their support for Trump,” they write with all the confidence of a pimply middle schooler trying to get people to read the Harry Potter fan fiction story they spent months working on.
