If Democrats lose the black voter advantage they will lose every election nationally.

I hope that the 2024 election is a blowout win "for someone," as that should mark the end of our current Idiocracy era.; 5/29/24, 11:01 AM

mikee said...: Enigma hopes for an end to our current Idiocracy era, but what he fails to understand is that once an Idiocracy era starts, it takes generational change to end it, because the idiots are with us, until replaced.

If you think Biden and Pelosi were bad, imagine 80+ year old President Kirsten Gillibrand and Speaker of the House AOC.; 5/29/24, 11:08 AM
Original Mike said...: "It seems so odd that the two candidates are so unpopular but neither party has the stones to say "enough.""

I'm not sure this is a symmetric situation. For the dems, Biden and the party manipulated the primary process. For the repubs, the primary process held the GOPe in check.

Yes? No?; 5/29/24, 11:12 AM
n.n said...: Gender is sex-correlated attributes: masculine and feminine. So, the question is not how would a man or woman vote, but rather what emanations progress from the exploited front hole, and the invariably misogynistic Obelisk.; 5/29/24, 11:14 AM

The albinophobic transgender spectrum.; 5/29/24, 11:16 AM

Not actually odd at all- to think it is seems like a fallacy of composition error.; 5/29/24, 11:18 AM

The Dems can't ditch Biden without a massive fight. The GOP can't ditch Trump because the party is hated by its base, while Trump still has a large core of loyal supporters, both traditional conservatives as well as blue-collar Dems.; 5/29/24, 11:28 AM

In 2016, it was free air time from the MSM that helped drive DJT to the fore. This election cycle, it's lawfare. Both can be attributed to the DNC, even if indirectly.; 5/29/24, 11:39 AM

Yancy's observations: Not actually odd at all- to think it is seems like a fallacy of composition error.; 5/29/24, 11:41 AM

IMO, the relentless negativity, especially in the media, make it impossible for anyone to maintain a positive favorability rating. Basically, the party stalwarts will love you, everyone else will hate you, and there's nothing anybody can do about it.; 5/29/24, 11:51 AM

Patrick? if it was Up To YOU...
Who would YOU pick to be the democrat? Kamela? Moochelle? some white boy?

Patrick? if it was Up To YOU...
Who would YOU pick to be the republican? Mitt Romney? Vivek? That lady governor from South Dakota?

keep in mind.. YOUR pick would NEED to be MORE POPULAR than the current ones..
and, Please show your work. Thanx!; 5/29/24, 12:05 PM
Mason G said...: "It seems so odd that the two candidates are so unpopular..."

In 2016, political newbie Trump beat Hillary, the ultimate Swamp Creature and most qualified candidate ever. In 2020, he got even more votes than he did four years earlier. He appears poised to eclipse that mark in November.

Unpopular, you say?; 5/29/24, 12:10 PM

don't forget Amy Crowbar as VP!!!

I said some time ago, that we should just anoint Taylor Swift as Queen of these United States.
At the the time; i said that: "It Wouldn't Be Worse, Than What We've Got NOW"
I think i stand by that Still.. Although, i liked her country music better than the pop she does now; 5/29/24, 12:11 PM
Rocco said...: Am I ready the charts right? The top chart says (Joe Biden) "Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the following people". No people are listed, but the top of the widgets says "US Adult Citizens".

Ignoring the gender breakouts for a minute, I am interpreting this to mean Joe Biden has a Very Favorable opinion of 18% of US Adults and a Somewhat Favorable opinion of 22% adults, for an overall Favorable opinion of 39% of us. That is roughly the percentage who are Democrats, so he must only like people who have a (D) after their name.

58% Unfavorable; he must not like most of us very much, and it shows. That 2% Don't Know must include his youngest grand-daughter.

For Trump, the 3% Don't Know are the (Big L) Libertarians.; 5/29/24, 12:16 PM

GOP voters did in choosing Trump. It looks like the rest of the country might be following. Vote fraud has its limits and we might be about to find out what it is.; 5/29/24, 12:17 PM
The Vault Dweller said...: Who are these people that are roughly a quarter of the population that have a Very Favorable opinion of Joe Biden? Do they actually mean they have a very favorable opinion of him, or do they mean they are very likely going to vote for him, or they very much want him to win in this election, or they very much want Donald Trump to lose? I could see high single digits of the population or perhaps even into the tweens of percents of people holding a very favorable opinion of Joe Biden, but 25%?; 5/29/24, 12:19 PM
Levi Starks said...: If former president Obama were to come out as trans would she be eligible to run for president?; 5/29/24, 12:33 PM
Yancey Ward said...: "Vote fraud has its limits and we might be about to find out what it is.

Its limit is this- if Joe Biden needs 120 million votes, he will get them. You might think the limit in Pennsylvania, for example, is the age 18+ census population of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but I assure you we are past that event horizon of shamelessness on the part of the Democrats. They will flood the system with mail-in-ballots and dare anyone to lift a single finger to do anything about it.; 5/29/24, 12:39 PM

Ralph L said...: Why did they poll significantly more women than men?; 5/29/24, 1:07 PM
rhhardin said...: If women are voting like men, it's an opportune time to eliminate the women's vote. No currernt outcome would change but it's better for the future.; 5/29/24, 1:19 PM
NKP said...: The candidates are not hated by two parties. They are hated by the uni-party.

If Trump is elected, he should immediately announce that both major parties fail the American people and that he is leaving the GOP and forming a new party to serve all of its citizens equally.; 5/29/24, 1:33 PM

Achilles said...: Patrick said...

Donald J. Trump is the most popular president in the history of this country in every objective measure.

He got 10 million more votes from voters than any other person in history.

You are just stupid if you think he is unpopular relative to really anyone else.; 5/29/24, 1:48 PM
Tina Trent said...: Wow, mikee, excuse me while I stab my eyes out.

This poll cannot be accurate. Maybe the math types here could speak to the unlikeliness of the numbers so perfectly matching. I'd be curious to know what they think of it.

And how on earth do they do polling anymore, with all the gender identities?; 5/29/24, 1:53 PM

Pretty much the same ones who excused Kyle Rittenhouse's attackers and would have preferred that, instead of being able to defend himself, he had been killed.; 5/29/24, 2:30 PM
Joe Smith said...: This is the reason for all the lawfare.

Everyone hates Biden.; 5/29/24, 2:37 PM

well, SOME are government employees.. but MOST are media personel; 5/29/24, 4:41 PM
The Godfather said...: Do the poll again after the verdict is announced in Trump's criminal trial for erroneous accounting entries (contra to ALL the news media, it's not the "hush money case"; there's no allegation that paying hush money is unlawful; it's ALL ABOUT ACCOUNTING). The Dems are counting (intentional pun) on widespread public rejection of Trump once he officially becomes a "criminal". I bet the Dems are wrong about that, as about so much else.; 5/29/24, 4:45 PM

What about the other genders? Why were only males and females polled?

And we have a winner!; 5/29/24, 5:23 PM
James K said...: Maybe the males and females view Biden favorably or unfavorably for different reasons. Ask about issues rather than a person and the gap would emerge again. I'm guessing the women who view him favorably care most about abortion, those who view him unfavorably see that he's a lying sexual predator. The men who view him unfavorably see that he's a corrupt money launderer. I have no idea why any men would view him favorably.; 5/29/24, 5:36 PM
narciso said...: the 2% had no opinion?; 5/29/24, 5:49 PM
Mason G said...: "I have no idea why any men would view him favorably."

Those are the leftist males who don't want to risk losing their right to have an abortion.; 5/29/24, 6:07 PM
Jersey Fled said...: “You might think the limit in Pennsylvania, for example, is the age 18+ census population of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but I assure you we are past that event horizon of shamelessness on the part of the Democrats.”

Philadelphia is one of many jurisdictions across the nation that have more registered voters than actual voting age residents. They can manufacture as many Democrat votes as they need to. And they will. Pittsburgh is just the minor leagues compared to Philly.; 5/29/24, 8:45 PM
Patrick Henry was right! said...: Who in the world are the 19% of men with highly favorable opinions of Joe Biden??? Are there that many Hamas and Antifa in America????; 5/29/24, 9:48 PM
Chris N said...: Somewhere around the corner, beyond the electric street, is a coffee shop. Sweaty and deliriously present young people hang on every word of a folk singer. The sounds are hypnotic and deep. This means something.

Freedom is next.

Christopher B said...: Martial status matters.

I recall the 2017 and/or 2021 freakout over the fact that Trump narrowly won married white women. They regularly vote GOP. Democrat support is largely from unmarried women of all races. If the gender gap is closing my bet would be the cross-tabs will show married nonwhite women are now leaning GOP like their white counterparts, reinforcing the theory that nonwhites are leaning Republican in larger numbers than before.; 5/30/24, 3:19 PM
