NPR’s latest poll shows that Biden might win the 2024 election. This is a big blow to Trump supporters who are hoping the first former President to get indicted would be able to convince people to vote for him.
The most recent survey from NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist confirms that Americans are afraid for the future of the nation, but the reasons Republicans and Democrats feel this way are distinct.
Additionally, they hold radically divergent views on the appropriate curriculum for the next generation to follow in that legacy.
Important voter groups also showed significant changes across generational, racial, and educational lines in this year’s presidential election, according to the report.
The report also looked at the potential impact of third-party candidates and so-called “double haters” on the race, defined as those who hold negative opinions of both President Biden and former President Trump.
Lastly, it reveals that, while continuing to deal with a plethora of criminal charges and legal issues, there has been an increase in the number of Republicans who believe that Trump has acted unethically.
The “Golden Rule,” the principle of treating others with the respect and dignity that one hopes to receive, was named by Democrats as the most crucial life lesson to impart to young people. A little further down the line came “be happy and follow your dreams” and “education being the key to success.”
The prosecutions of former president Trump have worn Republicans down, since more and more of them see wrongdoing on the part of Trump.
With the Republican primary behind him and his legal problems continuing, most Republicans now believe Trump has committed some sort of wrongdoing, be it illegal or unethical. However, less than half of respondents are watching Trump’s New York hush money trial attentively.
From 34% in February to 46% now, that’s a 12 point increase in the percentage of Republicans who think Trump has acted unethically. But compared to 47% of the total population, just 8% of Republicans believe he has committed an illegal act.
More than three quarters of Americans feel the investigations into Trump’s actions are reasonable, and an overwhelming majority think he has committed some sort of illegal or unethical act.
