Given disaffection with both leaders, a rerun of the 2020 presidential election is hardly enticing: Nearly six in 10 Democratic-aligned adults don't want to see Biden nominated again for the job, and half on the Republican side would rather not see Donald Trump as their party's nominee.
If those were the choices and the election were today, the poll suggests it could be close: Among all adults, 48 percent support Donald Trump and 44 percent are for Biden; it's a similar 48-45 percent among registered voters. The differences are within the poll's margin of sampling error.
Well this has been a recurring theme. Although almost every time you hear someone talk about a potential rematch of 2020 the pundits always suggest that Biden wins pretty much all the hypothetical polling matchups. I have heard Charlie Cook say this exact thing on Cable news, and Cook should know better. He is supposed to pay attention to polling.
Of the four polls RCP tracks that have taken place in 2023, three of them show Trump beating Biden. Only the Economist/YouGov fiasco of a polling company has it the other way. In 2021-2022, Trump lead in 32 polls, Biden led in 17 and three were tied. Overall you have Trump leading in a little over 2/3 of the polling for the 2024 election.

So after the oldest president in US history gives his imagined SOTU, the Republicans will have the youngest Governor in the nation, who knows extremely well how to speak to the country, give the response. Love that.
Tonights #SOTU may include, but is not limited to: 1. Nuking MAGA people 2. Compulsory unity 3. Everything is Trumps fault 4. The climate killing us 5. Trans people are better than you 6. Everyone is racist, sexist, and homophobic except dems(who are perfect) 7. Get the Vax.
