A brand spanking new poll from Marquette has revealed that the presidential race is swinging away from Vice President Kamala Harris and toward former President Donald Trump, which is not only good news for him, but for every single American who is tired of having to bend over and grab their ankles every time they go to the grocery store. What? Too crass? Oh come on. This is a very accurate description of the way it feels to try and put food on the table in 2024. And what’s worse is the administration didn’t even buy us dinner first.
According to Hannah Knudsen of Breitbart, “The latest survey shows both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris tied with 50 percent support each in a two-way race with leaners included. This reflects a four-point swing in Trump’s direction, as the last poll — released August 1 — showed Harris up by four points, garnering 52 percent support to Trump’s 48 percent support.”
The survey from Marquette also analyzed the data and discovered that Harris was up by one single percentage point, 48 to 47 for Trump. A total of 4 percent answered “other.” You might be wondering how this is good news. Well, allow me to provide you with a little context. The last survey that was completed had Harris winning by eight percentage points. Her lead has shrunk faster than that one guy’s head at the end of “Beetlejuice.”
The survey also showed Trump trouncing Harris on specific issues. For instance, when asked who they believe would do a better job of handling the economy, most, 52 percent, said Trump, compared to 38 percent who said Harris. Just six percent said they are “both about the same,” and four percent said “neither” are good. Similarly, when asked who they believe would do better at handling immigration and the border, 51 percent said Trump. Just 39 percent chose Harris. On the issue of the Israel/Hamas war, 44 percent said Trump would be better at handling it, compared to 35 percent who said the same of Harris.
Trump also has a three-point edge on who respondents believe would better handle foreign relations, while Harris takes the lead on abortion policy and healthcare, ensuring fair elections, and handling Medicare and Social Security.
“The survey was taken October 1-10, 2024, among 699 likely voters. It has a +/- 4.7 percent margin of error. It comes as Trump continues to perform well in key swing states as the election draws nearer,” the report concluded.
Regular, every day Americans seem to be undergoing a sort of political awakening. Perhaps the sky high inflation, insane cost of groceries, border crisis, and the constant lies and garbage flowing endlessly out of the mouths of Democrats seems to have acted as a sort of intellectual smelling salts. And that’s great news. It means we as a nation could be headed back toward a center-right culture, a shared culture, that will heal the wounds inflicted on our unity by liberals and allow us to stand as one united people.
