Ex-US President, Donald Trump is leading the country’s current President, Biden in new poll. Trump is leading with 10 points in a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The 77-year-old trounced the Democrat 52% to 42% in a hypothetical rematch of the 2020 contest, up significantly from Trump’s 49% to 43% lead during a similar survey from the outlets in May.
“Heads are EXPLODING at the Jeff Bezos Amazon Washington Post, as President Trump now leads Biden nationally by 10,” senior Trump adviser Jason Miller boasted on X.
During the 2016 election Trump clinched about 46% support and during 2020, he nabbed just shy of 47% support.
Across the board, the poll spelled bad news for Biden, with voters souring on his stewardship of the economy, immigration, age, and more.
Biden’s campaign and administration have boasted about the progress of so-called “Bidenomics,” but 44% surveyed in the poll argued that their financial picture deteriorated under his watch.
Only 30% look favorably on his handling of the economy, while 37% approve of his performance overall, compared to 56% who disapprove, per the poll.
On immigration, Biden’s approval clocks in at 23%, with 45% strongly disapproving.
Then, a considerable 74% of voters feel that he’s too old for another term, while about 50% say the same about Trump.
At age 80, Biden is already the oldest sitting US president and would be 86 by the conclusion of a second term in office.
A majority of Americans, including Democrats, have told pollsters that he is too old for another term.
Trump, who would also be the oldest president ever in office if he served a full second non-consecutive term, also leads Biden by one point nationally in the latest RealClearPolitics polling aggregate.
