New Poll on Biden/Trump Rematch Just Might Make Joe Pull His Hair Out

The I&I/TIPP poll was limited to people who voted in the 2020 election. Voters were asked “If the presidential election were held today, and the following were the candidates, for whom would you vote?” The choices were “Donald Trump,” “Joe Biden,” “Other,” or “Not sure.”

The results of the poll show Trump leading across much of the country, if the election were held today. The poll shows that Trump beats Biden in every region except in the North East and leading in key demographics.

Clearly, there are a lot of Democrats or other people who voted for Biden who are experiencing buyer’s remorse.

Now, even though Trump is beating him in most regions, Biden still holds a slim lead in total numbers, 45% to 44%, 6% choosing “other” and 5% saying “not sure.” But the momentum is all for Trump and Biden is still dropping. He dropped 1.2 points in September while Trump gained 1.8 points. The more the Biden problems hit, the more people remember how good they had it under Trump.

Then, if you apply the basic principle that most polls seem to be skewed toward Democrats, that final number probably is more for Trump than it might show.

This poll is consistent with other polls showing Biden’s approval cratering. Gallup had him suffering the biggest drop in favorability of anyone in office since World War II. The RCP average favorability has dropped across ten polls from 54.9% to 42.3%. A Quinnipiac poll had him at only 37% saying they approved while 52% disapproved, showing him at his lowest number and deeply underwater. As we reported again this morning, he’s still sliding with independents and Hispanics, and now Democrats, as well.
