Trump is ahead of Biden, causing media panic
Disaster Looms for America: Trump’s Overwhelming Lead
The legacy media is sounding the alarm, predicting a catastrophe for America. But what they fail to mention is the undeniable truth: Donald Trump is on the verge of securing the Republican presidential nomination. The latest Des Moines Register/NBC News poll reveals that Trump’s support in Iowa has skyrocketed to 51%, leaving his competitors Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley far behind at 19% and 16% respectively. Notably, 70% of Trump supporters have made up their minds, displaying an enthusiasm gap in favor of Trump, as highlighted by analyst Steve Kornacki.
And there continues to be a significant enthusiasm gap between Trump and the others:
- Supporters who say minds are made up:
- Trump 70%
- Haley 34%
- DeSantis 30%
- Supporters who say they are “extremely enthusiastic” about choice:
- Trump 45%
- Haley 21%
- DeSantis 16%

But Trump’s dominance doesn’t stop there. In the general election, he is also surging ahead by a significant margin. If the election were held today, Trump would emerge as the President of the United States. The Wall Street Journal poll indicates that Trump leads Biden by 47% to 43% in national polls. When third-party and independent candidates are factored in, Trump’s lead expands to six points, with 37% to 31%. Furthermore, recent polls from CNN and the Minneapolis Post reveal Trump’s lead in Michigan and Georgia, with a narrow three-point margin in Minnesota.
In other words, if the election were held today, Trump would secure a landslide victory.

There are two key reasons behind Trump’s overwhelming lead.
Firstly, Joe Biden’s popularity is plummeting. The same Wall Street Journal poll indicates that only 23% of voters believe Biden’s policies have personally benefited them, while 53% claim his policies have harmed them. In contrast, 50% of voters credit Trump’s policies for helping them, with only 37% believing they have been detrimental. Biden’s job approval stands at a mere 37%, with a disapproval rating of 61%. Additionally, a mere 30% of voters support Bidenomics. The only areas where Biden holds an advantage over Trump are abortion and “tone in politics.”
Unfortunately for Biden, this unfavorable condition is unlikely to improve before the election. The Wall Street Journal reports that buying a home has become less affordable than ever before, with no signs of improvement. The housing market has become increasingly challenging, with a buyer needing to find a home valued at $295,000 or less to match a $2,000 monthly housing budget. Average new home payments have skyrocketed to $3,322, more than double the amount at the end of 2020.
Furthermore, Biden’s hopes for a smooth economic recovery are fading. November job growth was weak, meeting the Federal Reserve’s expectations when they raised interest rates to combat inflation. However, this weak growth was primarily driven by sectors such as healthcare, government employment, and leisure and hospitality. In fact, these sectors, along with private education employment, account for a staggering 81% of all jobs created in 2023.
Business starts are also struggling, and the overall economy, as measured by gross output, remains stagnant. Business spending dropped by 9% in the first two quarters of the year.
Even Warren Buffett, the renowned investor, is expressing concern about the state of the economy. His firm, Berkshire Hathaway, has sold $28.7 billion in stock during the first three quarters of the year, indicating his belief that stock prices are overinflated.
Biden’s team may try to downplay these issues, but the reality is stark. The American people are not convinced by Biden’s candidacy, and the economic indicators paint a grim picture. Unless a miracle occurs, Trump’s path to victory seems assured.
Biden’s Holiday Speech and Kamala Harris’s Hanukkah Mishap
Reports have emerged that Biden stumbled through his holiday speech at the White House, failing to deliver a memorable or engaging address. Even his wife had to interrupt him to remind him that it was a party. Now, reluctant Democrats are finding themselves in the position of defending the aging president. Minnesota governor Tim Walz, for instance, praised Biden’s ability to deliver, stating that he would choose him over any other candidate, regardless of age. However, it’s widely known that Biden is unlikely to serve a full second term, which brings us to his backup plan: Kamala Harris.
Recently, Harris and Doug Emhoff, the Second Gentleman, released a Hanukkah message that was met with ridicule. Last year, they demonstrated their lack of knowledge about the holiday by releasing a video that completely missed the mark. This year, they further confirmed their ignorance with an insane post. The Second Gentleman even had to delete his “story of Hanukkah” post after facing criticism for not actually telling the story of Hanukkah.

It’s clear that Harris and Emhoff have little understanding of the true meaning and significance of Hanukkah. Their actions only serve to highlight their ignorance.
Moving on to the current state of the polls, it’s worth noting that Trump is currently leading Biden. One of the reasons for this is that Trump has managed to stay out of the news, which has taken away the electability argument from other potential candidates like DeSantis and Haley. Trump’s absence from the media spotlight has allowed people to overlook his controversial behavior, which has always been his Achilles heel.
Ironically, Trump’s social media ban has actually worked in his favor politically. It has made him almost invisible, and his investment in TruthSocial has largely gone unnoticed. This lack of attention is beneficial for Trump overall.
However, the question remains: Will things stay this way? While Trump may not be able to change people’s opinions of him, he could potentially reignite enthusiasm against him if he makes a grand entrance and captures the spotlight once again. Trump has already hinted at this possibility during an interview with Sean Hannity, where he jokingly referred to himself as a dictator. This remark, although intended as a joke, provided his enemies with ammunition and forced Trump to clarify his statement.
Trump’s opponents have resorted to labeling him as a fascist, comparing him to historical figures like Mussolini and Pinochet. Mitt Romney, in particular, has been vocal in his criticism, suggesting that Trump’s behavior is indicative of fascism. However, this argument is unlikely to sway voters.
Nikki Haley, on the other hand, has a more compelling argument against Trump. She claims that he is unelectable due to his association with chaos. This argument may hold weight, especially considering the ongoing efforts by Democrats and the Biden DOJ to indict Trump on various charges. The Supreme Court’s decision to hear a case regarding Trump’s claims of immunity in relation to the January 6 incident further adds to the perception of chaos surrounding him.
In conclusion, while Trump currently holds the lead in the polls, the political landscape is subject to change. Trump’s ability to regain attention and enthusiasm will play a significant role in determining the outcome of future elections.
Wall Street Journal:
Smith wants the court to take up the case before a lower appeals court considers it, allowing the justices to squarely weigh in on when, if at all, Trump’s trial should move forward. The special counsel’s move came 10 days after the trial judge presiding over Trump’s case declined his bid to toss the criminal election-interference charges, rejecting arguments that he is immune from prosecution. … Smith asked the justices to cut out the lower appeals court and rule directly on the matter. … “To further the imperative public interest in a timely trial, the Government seeks a full and final resolution of the defendant’s claims—that he is absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office or is constitutionally protected from federal prosecution where he was impeached but not convicted before the criminal proceedings begin—before the March 4, 2024 trial date,” Smith’s team wrote.
They want Trump on trial and they want him on trial now. They hope Trump will eat the headlines.
It is very likely that Trump will be on trial after losing this immunity appeal, but even that will not make the Biden case that Trump is a chaos agent. In order for that to work, Biden has to appear solid and non-chaotic — and that isn’t happening.
Which brings us back to the polls.
If every election, as I’ve said over and over, is a referendum on one of the two candidates, the referendum right now is on the current president. And barring some cataclysmic collapse by Trump or magical recovery by Biden, the underlying fundamentals of this race are likely to remain stable all the way up to election day.
This means that today’s Trump advantage is no mere chimera. It may just be the 2024 reality. Which is why the media and Democrats are panicking — and they should be.
How might Trump’s ability to regain attention and enthusiasm impact the outcome of future elections, despite his current lead in the polls
Al and mainstream media polls consistently show that Donald Trump is currently in the lead for the Republican presidential nomination, as well as in the general election against Joe Biden. This overwhelming lead is a cause for concern for those who oppose Trump, as disaster looms for America under his leadership.
The Des Moines Register/NBC News poll reveals that Trump’s support in Iowa has skyrocketed to 51%, leaving his competitors Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley far behind at 19% and 16% respectively. What is particularly striking is that 70% of Trump supporters have made up their minds, displaying an enthusiasm gap in favor of Trump, as highlighted by analyst Steve Kornacki.
But Trump’s dominance doesn’t stop at the primary level. According to the Wall Street Journal poll, in the general election, Trump is also surging ahead. If the election were held today, Trump would emerge as the President of the United States, leading Biden by 47% to 43% in national polls. When third-party and independent candidates are factored in, Trump’s lead expands to six points. Recent polls from CNN and the Minneapolis Post also reveal Trump’s lead in key swing states like Michigan, Georgia, and Minnesota.
The reasons behind Trump’s overwhelming lead are twofold. Firstly, Joe Biden’s popularity is plummeting. Only 23% of voters believe Biden’s policies have personally benefited them, while 53% claim his policies have harmed them. In contrast, 50% of voters credit Trump’s policies for helping them. Biden’s job approval stands at a mere 37%, with a disapproval rating of 61%. Furthermore, a mere 30% of voters support Bidenomics. The American people are not convinced by Biden’s candidacy, and economic indicators paint a grim picture.
Buying a home has become less affordable than ever before, with no signs of improvement. The housing market has become increasingly challenging, with average new home payments skyrocketing to $3,322. Biden’s hopes for a smooth economic recovery are fading, with weak job growth and stagnant business starts. Even renowned investor Warren Buffett has sold billions in stock, indicating his belief that stock prices are overinflated.
In addition to Biden’s unfavorable condition, his backup plan, Kamala Harris, has also faced criticism. Reports have emerged of Biden stumbling through his holiday speech and Harris’s recent Hanukkah mishap, displaying their lack of understanding and knowledge about the holiday.
While Trump currently holds the lead in the polls, the political landscape is subject to change. Trump’s ability to regain attention and enthusiasm will play a significant role in determining the outcome of future elections. The legacy media’s prediction of disaster for America may be far from certain, but Trump’s overwhelming lead cannot be ignored.
