Trump polls today: Trump and Biden tied in hypothetical rematch

The 2024 election looks set to be a rematch between President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump.
Despite his mounting legal problems, Mr Trump is by far the most popular candidate in the Republican field.
Only Florida governor Ron DeSantis has reached double digits but he remains miles behind Mr Trump.
Author Marianne Williamson and anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy Jr are challenging Mr Biden for the Democratic nomination but they are not considered real threats to the president.
Mr Trump was indicted for the third time on 1 August for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. As Democrats coalesce behind Mr Biden, Mr Trump’s mounting legal woes appear to only strengthen his support with his base.
The Republican primary is scheduled to begin with the Iowa caucuses on 15 January and the New Hampshire primary on 23 January. The primary season may go all the way into June, but who the nominee is expected to become clear well before that point.
Joe Biden’s approval rating reaches 40.5 per cent
Meanwhile, 55.1 per cent disapprove.
The last time more Americans approved than disapproved of Mr Biden was in August 2021.

‘I wonder if there is any other political figure in America who could generate this level of loyalty’
An NHJournal/co-efficient poll has revealed that 62 per cent of New Hampshire GOP primary voters would vote to make Mr Trump president even if he’s convicted of a felony, with 57 per cent saying that they would support him even if he’s “serving time in prison” by the time Election Day 2024 rolls around.
Co-efficient CEO Ryan Munce told the NHJournal that “As a pollster, I wonder if there is any other political figure in America who could generate this level of loyalty”.
“It will be difficult for any Republican to peel away these voters,” he added.

‘There remain opportunities for primary challengers to go on the offensive’
Only 25 per cent of Republican primary voters in New Hampshire said in an NHJournal/co-efficient poll that they believed Mr Trump committed any crimes in connection to the insurrection on January 6, 2021.
The remaining 75 per cent either say say he’s innocent – 35 per cent – while some said they were unsure if he’s guilty but that he’s only being prosecuted because he’s Donald Trump”.
GOP strategist Jim Merrill told the NHJournal that “To paraphrase Donald Trump, he could stand in the middle of Elm Street and shoot someone and not lose any voters”.
“Impressive loyalty, and yet, he still has under 50 per cent primary support. There remain opportunities for primary challengers to go on the offensive, draw contrasts more forcefully, and get creative,” he added. “But they’re climbing an awfully steep hill to make it happen, and the clock is ticking.”
