In the latest survey by J.L. Partners/Daily Mail, Donald Trump is dominating the 2024 presidential matchup, leaving President Joe Biden biting the dust. Trump is strutting his stuff with 40 percent of the support, while Biden limps behind with a measly 36 percent. This means Trump is not only leading the pack but pulling further ahead, proving that even with his legal troubles, he’s still got more pep in his step than Biden.

The survey also revealed that independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West are trailing behind, with Kennedy nabbing a mere four percent and West landing at just one percent. However, their meager participation isn’t putting a dent in Trump’s lead, contrary to what some naysayers had predicted.
A summary of the survey showed that Biden is not only lagging behind Trump but is also losing ground to RFK Jr., as well as losing four percent of his 2020 voters directly to Trump. Talk about a double whammy for ol’ Joe! And the trend is not in Biden’s favor at all. Back in the summer, Biden had a meager two-point lead over Trump in the polls. Fast forward to December, and Trump is now lapping Biden by three points.
To add insult to injury, the survey revealed that Trump is gaining favor among independent voters, securing 42 percent support compared to Biden’s paltry 40 percent. It’s a complete role reversal from earlier in the year when Trump trailed behind Biden among independents.
And the hits just keep coming for Biden. The survey shows that he’s also losing support among women, dropping from 51 percent in June to a sad 47 percent. Meanwhile, Trump is gaining ground among the ladies, going from 39 percent in June to a solid 41 percent in December.
The survey’s co-founder, James Johnson, didn’t sugarcoat it, saying, “Biden has taken a particular hit amongst 18-29 year old women, and suffers from low enthusiasm amongst black people too. There is also a big chunk of undecideds — one in ten of Biden 2020 voters — who might not like Biden but can’t bring themselves to vote for Trump.”
With less than a month before Iowa’s January 15 caucus, the pressure is on for Biden as Trump continues to dominate the polls. Trump’s frontrunner status is setting the stage for a 2024 showdown, and it looks like he’s ready to take on all challengers. Even as he faces legal hurdles, like getting booted off the ballot in Colorado, Trump’s campaign is gearing up for battle and showing no signs of slowing down.
