Trump Shift in Polling Plagues Biden's White House
Listen tothis article
A recent New York Times poll shows that President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in five battleground states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada) among registered voters. Much of the discontent with Biden comes from young people and Hispanic voters who are upset with his policies (e.g., border, inflation).
The poll found Trump leading in five out of six swing states, with Wisconsin the lone place where Biden is ahead. More concerning for Biden is that the poll found the president is losing support among young voters and Black and Hispanic voters, all of whom are critical to his coalition to win reelection.
While Republicans took a victory lap, Democrats cautioned it was one poll nearly six months out from Election Day. But Biden allies acknowledged the president has work to do if he is to win reelection in November.
What does this poll say about the 2024 presidential election? While we still have a long way to go, President Trump has a significant lead in three of the six states mentioned. Poll numbers in favor of Trump could be devastating and even discourage some people from voting.
Americans know firsthand what is happening in our country. And, despite President Biden’s claims that it’s “the best economy in the world,” the economy is playing a huge factor in Trump’s current lead. Voters are still hurting at the grocery store and gas pump.
Besides a depressing economy, the poll may reflect issues of immigration. In the Southwest, they’re seeing this firsthand. The border is a national security issue impacting key swing states directly.
While polls may not be a direct indicator of results, we know one thing for sure: Voting rules have changed. That’s why we are fighting back to protect election integrity as we did at the U.S. Supreme Court to ensure you had the right to vote for the candidate of your choice. However, with new rules in play, individuals must take action to protect their vote, such as utilizing the rules in their state, whether it be mail-in ballots or voting early.
The ACLJ also has an update in our case defending a teacher’s right to pray. According to the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent, students and teachers don’t “shed their constitutional rights” when they enter the school. That’s why we were in court in Texas this morning to defend a teacher’s right to pray.
As we explained, our client’s goal is straightforward. She simply wants to pray at the flagpole on her personal time. However, she has been reprimanded for praying and ordered not to pray anywhere where a student can see her.
Her principal now claims that he told our client something different. But that’s not what he said, and we were able to prove it in court with a recording. You can read the transcript of the recording for yourself here.
On the international front, we’ve recently learned that the Biden Administration’s independent task force regarding Israel comprises many with a serious history of antisemitism. This comes as no surprise as we know some of Biden’s biggest donors are funding pro-Hamas protests on college campuses.
The co-chair of the task force is a known pro-Hamas activist and professor from Rutgers, Noura Erakat. You also have co-chair Josh Paul, a former State Department official, who resigned in protest of sending Israel aid immediately following the October 7 attacks. He then joined a pro-Palestinian group. This isn’t representative of our country in the slightest when it comes to these issues.
ACLJ Senior Counsel for International and Government Affairs Jeff Ballabon in Jerusalem explains what he’s seeing in Israel:
They’re seeing the United States of America that they’ve always believed was their friend is turning against them . . . . They know they’re just trying to fight for survival. They know that all Israel wants is peace. Israel is so happy to live in peace with its Arab neighbors and with its Arab citizens, and they’re watching America, which they always saw as a righteous nation or for decades as a righteous nation, and just an Administration ago, peace was breaking out with Arab nations that wanted to normalize with Israel. And now these people are from the White House – from the State Department – are pushing literal Hamas terrorist talking points and using it as an excuse.
The Biden Administration is so far out of touch with America, and we’re seeing the raw evil that’s coming out of this Administration. The protests might be waking people up, and we need to make sure the mainstream press covers this correctly.
