ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos went unscripted in reacting to new polls from ABC News and the Washington Post showing Joe Biden tanking fast, losing the 2024 General Election to both President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“When asked who they would support in 2024, 44 percent of voting-age adults say they would “definitely” or “probably” vote for Trump while 38 percent would definitely or probably vote for Biden. The remaining 18 percent are either undecided or gave another answer,” reported the Washington Post.
“If DeSantis were the Republican nominee, 42 percent today say they would definitely or probably vote for the Florida governor, as 37 percent would back Biden and 21 percent are undecided or chose another option.”
The poll also found Biden had an abysmal 36 percent approval rating, with respondents saying Trump did a massively better job than Biden on the economy, with Trump at 54 percent on the topic versus Biden’s 36 percent.
Only 33 percent of respondents said Biden is mentally fit to be president, while 54 percent say Trump is sharp enough for the job. 33 percent said Biden is physically fit for the gig, while Trump got a much higher 64 percent.
In a 2024 matchup, the Washington Post wrote, “Biden won suburban voters in 2020 with 54 percent of the vote, according to that same Pew study. In the new Post-ABC poll, Trump slightly leads Biden among suburbanites, with Trump at 45 percent and Biden at 39 percent, a difference that is within the poll’s margin of error. Trump has a huge lead among rural voters while Biden has a small lead among urban voters.”
Stephanopolouse said on his show This Week, “This poll is just brutal for [Joe] Biden!”
