A panel of CNN talking heads expressed shock this week while discussing how well former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is polling —especially among Black voters.
“From women, to Hispanic voters, Black voters —22% of Black voters behind Trump? That is not seen in the modern era for a Republican frontrunner, right? I mean…wow,” one panelist said.
“It’s startling. I looked at the Democratic response, Kevin Munoz, the spokesman for Biden, and this idea that you know, we have a year. We can turn things around. I think you have to look at this being a challenge from the very beginning.”

While Trump polling shows strong support, especially in swing states, Biden is quickly sinking. According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, Biden’s approval is sitting at 39% —his lowest since April.
From Reuters:
The two-day opinion poll, which ended on Saturday, showed 39% of respondents approved of Biden’s performance as president, matching April’s reading and down marginally from 40% in October and 42% in September. The poll had a margin of error of about three percentage points.
Biden is widely expected to face a November 2024 rematch with former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. Other recent polls have pointed to a potentially close race between the two.
The share of poll respondents who rated “war and foreign conflicts” the No. 1 problem rose to 8% in November from 4% in October, a sign of unease over a sharp escalation in the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
