Post-Shooting Poll: Biden Loses Two Points Nationally, Trump Gets a Bump in the Battleground States
Gray Agenda on.
I expected Trump to get no more than a 1-2 point bump after the assassination attempt. The reasons: 1, Trump is deeply divisive, and most of those who have decided against him are not wishy-washy on the issue, they're hard no's. They hate him. Their entire identity consists of hating him and/or writing turgid blog posts for National Review. 2, Trump has already improved his standing with the public. He limped through his presidency with a 43% approval rating, on average, but he's up to a 46% approval now. Trump has attracted some of the persuadables already. How many are left? Not many. 3, the assassination attempt will be thought of as Divine Providence by those who already support Trump. For the haters, of course, it just confirms their hatred for the God they say doesn't exist. For undecided people, it's just luck. In other words, Trump's survival will mostly be taken as a positive sign by people already supporting Trump, thus having a small effect, if any. I never really thought it would have the galvanizing effect that others were imagining. Update: What the failed assassination may do is increase Republican intensity/enthusiasm. And we'll need that, as a lot of Trump voters -- not Republican voters, but specifically Trump voters -- are low-propensity voters. The leftwing pollster Morning Consult -- actually, it's not even a poll; I believe it's a tracking survey, where the same group of people are "polled" over and over in exchange for small payments -- finds Trump gaining two points.I saw another poll -- can't find it now -- that showed Trump gaining nothing at all, but Biden losing two points of support. Something like 46%-44% in Trump's favor turning into 46-42. I don't see how the failed assassination attempt would not help Trump but rather hurt Biden, but of course there's a lot of meaningless variation between polls. An poll of just voters in Georgia and blue Virginia has worse news for Biden.

Other: 8%
— Jun. 16: Biden +1
Jun. 30: Trump +1
July 17: Trump +4 (highest since Feb) [+/- change vs July 12-14]Post-Incident Shift: In Virginia, the gap between Trump and Biden has closed to a tie at 44% each after the attempt on Trump's life, with some Democrats switching to undecided or Trump. Stable Lead in Georgia: Trump maintains a lead of 49% to Biden's 43% in Georgia, unaffected by the assassination attempt or the inclusion of Robert Kennedy Jr. in the race. Project 2025 Opposition: Over 60% of voters in both states are aware of the conservative-led Project 2025, with significant opposition particularly among Democrats, minorities, and educated voters.An Emerson poll shows Trump with a two-point lead on Biden in Virginia.
nteractivePollsBut... they're tied with leaning voters included. But again, Trump jumps out to a five-point lead in a full field (not just head to head with The Vegetable.)
@IAPolls2022 VIRGINIA GE: @EmersonPolling
Trump: 45%
Biden: 43%
Undecided: 12%Biden has no hope at all without Virginia. When you add in the other swing states which now seem pretty solid for Trump -- Nevada, Georgia, Arizona -- it almost looks like Trump doesn't even need any of the states of the "blue wall." (I'm not sure of that. But Virginia has 13 EVs, and we weren't even previously thinking of it as a real swing state.) Emerson's poll of the other swing states shows Trump leading them all. A five point lead makes one candidate "likely" to win it. A 2-4 point lead is a "leaning" state," and a ten point lead is a "solid" state. All but Michigan are now "likely" for Trump. With other candidates included, Trump is +10 in Arizona.

Pollsters are now running Trump vs. Kamala Harris. It's not great for Harris. Bettors now see Kamala Harris more likely to be president than Biden. They give Trump a 66% chance of being president in January 2025, a 20% chance to Kamala, and only give Biden a 6% chance. People have told me that these betting markets tend to be skewed to the Democrat side. So we might be seeing a lot of Democrat Wishcasting in this idea that Biden won't even be the candidate.

Setting aside meaningless variation and assuming that these are more or less correct, it is consistent with your opening assessment (Trump has what he's going to get, and there won't be a "bullet bump" in his support). So Trump holding constant - assuming that the assumption is correct - is consistent with your prediction.
But you said nothing about Joe. Joe hasn't looked good for the past little while, and the past week has been *really* bad. Non-passionate partisans or Biden supporters could be unwilling to vote Trump, but perfectly willing to throw up their hands, say "fuck it" and withdraw.
The finding, if correct, isn't necessarily inconsistent with your assessment.Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at July 18, 2024 02:52 PM (HnUIn)
37 The 12% undecided in VA will come home to the D ticket for the presidency - Cao probably has a better shot b/c he doesn't have to share the NeverTrumper base (which probably has a bigger base in VA vs any other state) with RFK here...and I don't think Cao will win, either...
The Rs who won't vote Trump will not vote Biden, but they have a place to go with RFK. Funny enough, 3 candidates on the ticket probably hurts Trump more than Biden in VA...but maybe helps Cao...Posted by: Nova Local at July 18, 2024 02:52 PM (exHjb)
38 Much of the whaling (apologies to Whoopi and Joy) and gnashing of teeth we're doing around here has a cause, and the inimitable rock-ribbed Conservative Jen Rubin has dialed in the cause, to wit, the media:
"CNN and other broadcasts have reached a new low in RNC coverage, fawning over "unity" and "young Vance" - ignoring we are seeing a fascist party overflowing with criminals plot the downfall of America, a VP who is the single most radical and unqualified in history. No pushback on lack of information on Trump's injury. It's access journalism at its worst. It's not the media we need to defend democracy."

I'll never understand how so many people don't exercise their right to vote.

84 I don’t see how Democrats replace Biden at this point. Nobody polls higher and there are roughly four months to go. The dynamics around voters who were on the fence about Trump have greatly changed since the assassination attempt. He’s seen in a much more favorable light by people in the middle. While there is a long way to go, I don’t see much, especially in the way of issues that changes in three months. This is now really about saving down ticket races for the House, Senate and even local races. Those are the people screaming the loudest and it frankly feels like they’ve given up on the presidential races and are trying to triage where they can to retain some power. I believe that’s where the cheat will focus, on those other seats. IMVHOPosted by: Marcus T at July 18, 2024 02:57 PM (2hOms)

People are bitter about a lot of things and love Youngkin. He turned the VA Repub party into a real thing again, after the GOPE collapsed it a decade ago. Thus, why we have conservative, dynamic candidates focused on parental freedoms and personal responsibility with all doors open to everyone. And we are purple again.
But purple ain't red. And Trump is the same guy who has lost 2x in a row. He hasn't gained many voters here b/c he doesn't campaign on the issues that matter here, and he does rile up the blue base more than any other R.
None of blue will stay home, so b/c they outnumber red if you can't keep any home, they will win.

Charlie Kirk has an organization called "Turning Point USA" which is working hard to
1)register more voters for Republicans
2) get them mail in ballots to get them to vote
3) get them to go out and "early vote" where applicable
These are all things that the Democrat "Get Out the Vote" have been doing, and Kirk reports on his radio show that it is working, based on a lot of the volunteers reports. He started this up out of disgust that the RNC under Ronna McDaniel was doing little to nothing.
They are working hard in Republican counties in Georgia and Pennsylvania (in particular) to get more Republican voters to the poles, ie, low propensity voters.Posted by: A face in the crowd..... at July 18, 2024 03:08 PM (vcOmj)

Not on personal grounds, I mean, he’s a perfectly nice guy, he’s like one of the only members of the Senate with a happy marriage. True.
But because they thought he would be harder to manipulate and slightly less enthusiastic about killing people. That’s it. That he would be an impediment to their exercising power.

usatoday.com/story/news/politics /elections/2024/02/29/ donald-trump-black-voters-poll/72756083007/
8% in 2016, 12% in 2020. The movement will mostly be among black men. Of interest (I know, I know, soaping backs, not yet, etc) although last winter there wasn't a surge toward TGE, there was a big shift against the Potato: was 87% then 63%.

213 'Biden has no hope at all without Virginia. When you add in the other swing states which now seem pretty solid for Trump -- Nevada, Georgia, Arizona -- it almost looks like Trump doesn't even need any of the states of the "blue wall." (I'm not sure of that. But Virginia has 13 EVs, and we weren't even previously thinking of it as a real swing state.)'
Many so-called "swing states" are really no such thing. If election fraud is magically eliminated (which it actually MIGHT) this will become obvious. NM isn't the "blue" state they say it is either.
Imagine a situation where the electronic voting systems are compromised, and paper ballots counted by hand at local precincts finally occur.
Can that really happen? I don't know - all we really know for sure is that we can expect a surprise or two, and what's at stake is wrestling back the elected government from puppets who are installed by, and agents of hostile foreign powers (which means the military getting involved, even if covertly, is not off the table).Posted by: MrExcitement at July 18, 2024 03:10 PM (hOOi9)

Yes, it's collective guilt applied to an individual, but if there's going to be pushback on the entire practice from the left, the left has to feel the pain first.

It's why I don't put much concern in a change to the Dem ticket. Anyone who flips to trump isn't going to flip back without something catastrophic to happen to Trump (a major gaffe, etc). And since he's the challenger, the incumbent has all the pressure for there to be no national crises that he gets blamed for.
Trump has all the advantage here. He can only WIN support.

By the way, the media is already laying the ground for a Kamala Harris run, and it's not looking like there's going to be a "honeymoon."
Biden would have to resign the Presidency, allowing Harris to become the incumbent for this to work. A brokered convention would be a disaster.
If only some faithless democrats would support Biden the way the MAGAts support Trump. They should have circled round Biden in support after the debate, not to create a fucking firing squad.

304 Agree with above, Ace, about your eyes.
Dark mode is great for the eyes, also many newish monitors have an Eye Strain mode that will add a yellowish tinge to block the harsher blue light.
Similar to Night Mode on phone screens.

They scheduled the convention too late to get on the AL and OH ballots. AL immediately fixed it. OH held out for a few weeks, and the left tried to turn it into, "Republicans are trying to keep Biden off the ballot!"
OH did pass the exemption (they also passed a ban on foreign investment in OH elections). So, the DNC can wait until the convention.
But, just a couple of days ago, Jamie Harrison (head of the DNC) was screaming at Nate Silver that they have to nominate Biden on 8/7, 2 weeks before the convention. The DNC is in Biden's pocket.Posted by: TheJamesMadison, riding the anarchy train with John Landis at July 18, 2024 03:27 PM (GBKbO)

I don't find that plausible at all. Like the last several Presidential elections, they'll just fudge the poll numbers.
So the focus on poll numbers doesn't work for me. That being said, they could be getting to the right answer the wrong way. The bottom line is that nobody would really believe that Biden was popular enough to beat Trump.
Really, though, anybody who though it through would have realized that Biden getting WAY more votes than Obama ever got was proof positive of the steal, by itself. So this applied LAST time, but still nothing happened.Posted by: MrExcitement at July 18, 2024 03:29 PM (hOOi9)

384 the real poll number that is giving the Dems heartburn is Biden's approval numbers. They are around 36%. That is the key number is probably 10% points below what Biden needs to win.

Not that they haven't done far worse, but the optics on doing that while letting the Trump prosecutions go forward would be terrible, and he and his successor have no pardon power over state court Trump prosecutions.
But if he could pardon Hunter and Trump at the same time, then it would be doable.Posted by: Biff Pocoroba at July 18, 2024 03:35 PM (Dm8we)
386 >>> 350 Could be wrong but I actually think the assassination attempt and Trump’s (let’s call it what it was) demonstrated balls of steel will and has changed minds. A lot didn’t like him because they perceived him a brash braggart and bully…. Getting shot in the head (grazed, whatever) and his response makes him sympathetic and heroic even.

455 Amber Rose speaking at the convention was a shrewd move. It's drawing a lot of conversation, some reflection.
19th News dot org: Election 2024
Why is Amber Rose speaking at the Republican National Convention?
The GOP tapped Rose, the television personality who has consistently expressed her support for former President Donald Trump since May.The Biden campaign responded to Rose’s speech late Monday night by saying Trump’s presidency benefited rich people — not so much Black people. Rose is a multiracial woman.
“A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to line the pockets of millionaires like Rose at the expense of actual Black communities, and those are the facts,” said Sarafina Chitka, a Biden-Harris campaign senior spokesperson.
The article ends, “Now, under the total Trump takeover of the RNC, the GOP will be represented at the convention by Amber Rose who believes in ‘empowering the LGBTQ+ community,’ ‘ending sexual, social injustice, derogatory labeling, and gender inequality.’ Conservatives who voted for Trump in the primary, how do you like being represented by a woke, pro-trans, socialist at the GOP convention,” (Maria) Peiro (FL) posted on X.

470 “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to line the pockets of millionaires like Rose at the expense of actual Black communities, and those are the facts,” said Sarafina Chitka, a Biden-Harris campaign senior spokesperson.
The article ends, “Now, under the total Trump takeover of the RNC, the GOP will be represented at the convention by Amber Rose who believes in ‘empowering the LGBTQ+ community,’ ‘ending sexual, social injustice, derogatory labeling, and gender inequality.’ Conservatives who voted for Trump in the primary, how do you like being represented by a woke, pro-trans, socialist at the GOP convention,” (Maria) Peiro (FL) posted on X.

No shit. He's had several, some announced, and some (I'm sure) hidden. He's probably now considering admitting to some to bow out with some bit of grace and dignity after being pushed out by his party for being an abject, embarrassing failure.
He's going to give up to Trump, and know he left office an embarrassing failure who backed down in front of a "bully".

“ I reported Sunday that the Secret Service diverted resources from the Trump rally to the Jill Biden event. My Secret Service sources used the word "diverted" with me. That was rightfully a focus. I believe, from my reporting, there was a resources-allocation issue between the Trump rally and the Jill Biden dinner in the Pittsburg area on the same day, exacerbated by resources needed for the NATO summit and prep for the RNC convention.”

“IDK Not Trump Tho 2016”

“I Don’t Know.”
Undecided voters are a fixture of every election year. But this year, even the decided voters aren’t completely confident in their choices. ...
