2024 Polls... so far

What Do They Tell Us About How Americans Feeling

I’ve been putting off writing about polls because it’s just way too early, but after an appearance on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show last week, I thought I’d do a quick breakdown of what the 2024 race looks like at this point.

To almost no one’s surprise, the 2024 election will be a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump unless something happens with either one of these men’s health or possibly a prison sentence.

So, for argument’s sake, let’s say these are the nominees.

Two very good recent polls have earned a lot of attention: The Wall Street Journal Poll (conducted by Fabrizio/Lee) and CNN.

CNN’s poll had Trump up by a point, while the Fabrizio/Lee tied them. Many commentators noted that the former president is in a much better position than four years ago. In Oct. 2019, The Wall Street Journal had him down 9 points, and CNN had him down 10 points.
