An Editorial Opinion
An exclusive Wall Street Journal poll released over the weekend found that Donald Trump would lead Joe Biden by 4 percentage points, 47% to 43%, if only those two candidates were on the ballot. Adding five possible third-party and independent candidates to the mix, Trump leads Biden by 6%.
The poll also found 49% of voters think Trump’s policies have helped them, while only 23% of voters think Biden’s policies have helped them.
Voters think Donald Trump would be better able to handle the economy, inflation, crime, border security and the war between Israel and Hamas, while Joe Biden is better able to handle abortion and tone in politics.
Border security seems to be the biggest issue where Joe Biden falters, with Donald Trump leading against him by 30%.
Concerns about Joe Biden’s age and cognitive abilities have also been spotlighted on the campaign trail, stemming from reports of him falling, sometimes mixing up countries and dates, and making inexplicable other blunders.
Trump’s 91 felony counts in pending four criminal cases have not caused voters to sour on him. In the court of public opinion, Trump has been pardoned for any crimes he may have committed.
Biden’s apparent senility seems to be getting worse, and voters are not buying whatever he is selling.
The WSJ poll was conducted from Nov. 29 to Dec. 4 with a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
Barring divine intervention, I have predicted on multiple occasions since August 2022 that Donald Trump will win the presidency in 2024. Every prediction I have made since 2015 regarding Trump’s presidential election outcomes have come true.
If Donald Trump is elected president, all of his criminal cases will fade away and his revenge tour will begin in earnest.
On December 7, 2023, Axios published an insightful article on the new Cabinet members and White House staffers who will help Donald Trump administer his revenge. No agency of government will step up to reign-in Trump’s brutal and widespread campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies and critics.
The first head on Donald Trump’s presidential chopping block in January 2025 will be Special Counsel Jack Smith’s. The second head will be Attorney General Merriclk Garland’s. Both men will likely get a Trump-ordered opportunity to experience federal a criminal prosecution, conviction, and prison, first-hand.
Remember, you heard this bold new prediction here first!
I have never seen an elected official with the tenacity and strength of Donald Trump. He single-handedly saved himself from a very dark place in American jurisprudence and electoral politics.
You've been right so far. Your age and wisdom has called this from day one.
