Amidst the tumult of legal battles and political maneuvering, the 2024 presidential race unfolds with captivating twists and turns, as Morning Consult's relentless surveys unveil the pulse of the nation's voters, revealing a riveting contest between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Morning Consult is in the thick of the 2024 presidential race, canvassing registered U.S. voters daily to gauge their sentiments on the upcoming rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. They're digging into who voters plan to support, how they perceive the candidates, and which issues are driving their decisions.
Despite his legal troubles, Trump maintains a slight edge over Biden, leading by a mere 1 percentage point in the latest polls. Biden sees a surge in support among Democratic voters, hitting his highest mark since April. However, Trump still holds sway among his 2020 base, outperforming Biden in retaining their support.
Trump's recent conviction on multiple felony charges in New York dominates the headlines, with a significant majority of respondents indicating they're well-informed about the matter. This development deals a blow to Trump's public image, pushing his net buzz rating to its lowest point since his legal troubles began.
The ongoing trial in New York has taken a toll on Trump's favorability ratings, marking the fifth consecutive week where Biden holds a more favorable standing. This trend started as legal proceedings against Trump intensified.
Following the historic verdict, most voters approve of the jury's decision to convict the former president. However, on the political front, Republican voters diverge, with a majority backing Trump's continuation in the race and expecting GOP candidates to align with him, setting them apart from the broader electorate's sentiments.
