Trump’s Potential Victory in 2024 Election
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a co-host on “The View,” remarked that her colleagues might concede to the notion that if the 2024 election were held again, Donald Trump could win by an even larger margin. She referenced a recent Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll indicating that many Americans feel more inclined to trust Republicans over Democrats on key issues like crime and immigration. This assertion drew an immediate reaction from Joy Behar, who challenged Griffin’s perspective, suggesting that this could benefit Trump in a rematch.
“I’m going to put this out there, and while it might upset some, I genuinely believe that if the election were today, Trump might secure the same, if not a greater, victory,” Griffin stated, provoking a chorus of reactions from the audience.
Behar jumped in with, “But what do you think?”
Griffin responded, noting that due to the intense polarization in America, opinions about Trump often follow a pattern—those who dislike him tend to feel even stronger about it now. “While there are certainly individuals with biases, today’s poll demonstrates a clear trend: people are leaning towards Republican candidates on major issues,” she added.
The polls revealed that 40% of voters trust Republicans more to manage crime and immigration, while only 20% and 22% extend that trust to Democrats for those issues. Additionally, Republicans are perceived as better equipped to handle foreign conflicts, the economy, gun control, and political extremism.
Conversely, some voters still trust Democrats regarding respect for democracy, healthcare, environmental issues, and women’s rights.
Further analysis from a Washington Post and IPSOS survey showed Republicans ahead by 7% concerning economic matters, 13% on immigration, and 22% regarding crime. These trends might pose challenges for Democrats as they approach the mid-term elections in 2026.
With exit polls projected for November 2024, voters seem to prioritize the economy and immigration. These factors could significantly benefit Trump, supporting his bid to become the first Republican candidate to make substantial inroads with Hispanic and blue-collar voters. Notably, he has already become the first Republican to win the Hispanic male vote.
