Notably, the poll reveals that a substantial portion of voters’ choices in the 2024 election may be motivated by opposition to the other candidate.
Among those planning to vote for Biden, 58 percent claim that their decision is more about voting against Trump than for Biden himself. Conversely, 57 percent of Trump supporters express a similar sentiment, indicating that their vote is driven by opposition to another term for President Biden.
The lead Biden had over Trump early this summer is shrinking. In a June NBC News poll, Biden had a four-point lead over Trump, 49 percent to 45 percent which seems to have disappeared.
Most polls show either a tie or Biden with a slight advantage. But in a separate Washington Post/ABC News poll also released Sunday Trump is beating Biden by 10 percent. This appears to be an outlier among mainstream polls.
As the 2024 election season unfolds, concerns surrounding Biden’s age and Trump’s legal woes are undeniably shaping the political landscape. The dynamics of this race are further complicated by the motivations of voters.
