Biden&#8217;s legislative progress includes averting a shutdown, securing foreign aid, and winning battles against impeachment. Trump, restrained by a gag order\u200c and negative media, faces challenges. Polls show a tight\u2064 race between them, with Biden leading in key states and demographics.

The president is also beginning to see some positive indicators in 2024 polling focusing on swing states and nontraditional slices of the electorate.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Trump, under gag order, has been forced to sit through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/papa-john-says-pr-company-planted-racism-allegations-after-he-would-not-pay-6m\/\" title=\"\u2018Papa John\u2019 Says PR Company Planted Racism Allegations After He Would Not Pay M\">negative media coverage<\/a> of his criminal trial, the first ever in U.S. history for a former president, complete with anecdotes from courtroom reporters of him nodding off and passing gas in the courtroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis election will be a choice between chaos and competence, and once again the American people will see a split screen this week between two candidates: one focused on the real issues that matter to the American people and one focused only on himself and his campaign of revenge and retribution,\u201d Biden campaign spokeswoman Mia Ehrenberg told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. \u201cWhile Donald Trump and his floundering campaign are busy with personal distractions and legal defenses, President Biden is talking about creating jobs, lowering costs, and protecting Americans\u2019 fundamental rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For months, Biden has trailed Trump in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-superior-court-orders-maricopa-county-ariz-to-turn-over-2-1m-ballots-from-nov-election\/\" title=\"U.S. Superior Court orders Maricopa County Ariz. to turn over 2.1M ballots from Nov. election\">critical battleground states<\/a>, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, yet a poll published in late March by <em>Bloomberg<\/em> and Morning Consult shows Biden up 1 point on Trump in Wisconsin and tied in Pennsylvania and Michigan. Trump led by just over 6 points in Pennsylvania the month prior.<\/p>\n<p>A poll published Sunday by NBC News gave Trump a 2-point advantage with registered voters over Biden in a head-to-head matchup, with 10% undecided, but Biden\u2019s team can pull multiple positive trends from the data.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2020 general election, more than 66% of the electorate cast ballots, marking the highest turnout in an election since 1900. However, NBC\u2019s poll found that enthusiasm among Democrats, Republicans, and independents appears to be lagging heading into this election cycle. Less than two-thirds of the poll\u2019s sample said they were \u201cvery interested\u201d in voting in November, with participants less likely to vote favoring Trump over Biden by 22 points. Conversely, Biden leads Trump by 9 points among participants very interested in voting.<\/p>\n<p>The Harvard Youth Poll published in mid-April similarly found the two candidates neck-and-neck among people under 30, but Biden led Trump in that poll by nearly 20 points among likely voters under 30.<\/p>\n<p>NBC\u2019s Sunday poll also found a third-party candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., potentially spoiling things for Trump. Reports had indicated that Kennedy, who is running as an independent after dropping his Democratic primary challenge of the president, is staying in the race to help Trump, yet NBC found he\u2019s actually pulling votes away from the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Including third-party candidates, NBC found Biden up 39%-37% over Trump, with Kennedy polling at 13%, Jill Stein garnering 3%, and Cornel West just below her at 2%. The data suggest that 15% of Trump supporters in the head-to-head matchup split for Kennedy in an open race, compared to just 7% of Biden supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Biden cleared a massive governmental hurdle this past week, which Democratic strategists familiar with his campaign strategy optimistically tell the <em>Washington<\/em> <em>Examiner<\/em> could sow chaos among Republicans ahead of November, in addition to advancing Biden\u2019s own policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019ve seen these past months is President Biden pulling on decades of Congressional experience to successfully outmaneuver a rookie Speaker and growing, ultra MAGA wing of the Republican lawmakers,\u201d one strategist said. \u201cOur allies desperately need that aid, and the president is delivering. On top of that, it might cost [House Speaker] Johnson his job. Republicans were outmatched from the get-go, despite their refusal to cooperate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson\u2019s office, however, said the new speaker managed to get concessions from Democrats by not taking up the original Senate-passed foreign aid bill as written.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of taking up the Senate\u2019s bill or allowing a discharge to occur, the Speaker gave House members a voice and passed a better policy through a better process,\u201d a Johnson spokesperson said. \u201cUnlike the Senate\u2019s blank check, the House legislation provides for greater accountability over Ukraine aid, includes a loan instrument, ensures that Russian assets help pay for some of the bill, includes tough sanctions on Iran, Russia, and China, and forces TikTok out of the hands of the CCP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all smooth sailing for Biden.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s general approval rating remains firmly underwater, with the <em>RealClearPolitics<\/em> polling average showing his favorability hovering just below 40%.<\/p>\n<p>The president is also saddled with growing dissent among progressives regarding his handling of Israel\u2019s war in Gaza. Polling had shown Biden losing support from Arab and Muslim Americans in Michigan and other swing states, and the string of university protests pushing for policy change regarding Israel could make it impossible for the president to retain his whole 2020 coalition this cycle.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s recent successes contrast starkly with former President Donald Trump&#8217;s legal battles, notably in New York.
