The year 2024 is just around the corner, and the competition between the current Biden and the former Trump is getting fiercer. Recently, some polls show that Trump's approval rating has surpassed Biden and become the first choice of the American people. Analysts believe that this situation is related to the multiple indictments of Trump by the Democratic Party, which have instead become Trump's "divine assistance" to unite his supporters and make his campaign more favorable.
According to foreign media reports, a poll released by Morning Consult on the 27th local time showed that 44% of respondents said they would support Trump, while 41% said they would choose Biden. This is the first time since the poll began tracking in December 2022 that Trump's approval rating has surpassed Biden's. Another polling agency, The Economist Yougov, also showed that Trump led Biden by 2 percentage points by 43% to 41%. The polls reflect Trump's strong influence within the Republican Party and Biden's lack of unity within the Democratic Party.
Trump's rise in the polls is closely related to the multiple indictments of him by the Democratic Party. Since 2020, Trump has refused to recognize the election results, claiming that there was massive fraud and fraud in the election, and demanding that Biden's victory be overturned. His words and actions triggered the worst political crisis in U.S. history, leading to the Capitol Hill** incident on January 6, 2021, which killed five people and injured hundreds. To this end, the Democrats launched two ** against Trump, trying to convict him and strip him of his political rights, but both failed. In addition, the Democrats have filed multiple criminal and civil lawsuits against Trump over his tax, financial, business, election, Russian collusion, and other issues, trying to send him to court and even prison.
However, these indictments against Trump have instead become his "divine assistance" to unite his supporters and make his campaign more favorable. Trump and his supporters view the indictments as a political example of the Democratic Party, an unfair trial against him and his constituents, and a threat to American democracy and freedom. They believe that the purpose of the Democrats is to eliminate Trump, to prevent him from running again in 2024, and to preserve their power and interests. Therefore, they are more determined to support Trump, donate to him, shout for him, and vote for him.
Trump has also made good use of these indictments as his campaign, galvanizing the emotions of his supporters, consolidating his voter base, and expanding his influence. He constantly criticized the "illegality" of the Democratic Party in social and public places, constantly proclaimed his "innocence" and justice, constantly called on Republicans to rally around him, and constantly displayed his "fighting spirit and confidence." He also made a series of policy propositions, including strengthening border security, opposing abortion, supporting the police, banning gender diversity education, and pardoning supporters of Capitol Hill** to appeal to conservative and radical voters. His slogan was "Let Great America Come Back" and his goal was to "Make America Great Again."
Biden and the Democrats face a tough situation, with their approval ratings declining, their solidarity waning, and their policies not working well. After Biden took office, he launched a series of economic, social, diplomatic, environmental and other reform measures to try to solve various challenges and crises faced by the United States, but they were strongly opposed and obstructed by the Republican Party, and did not receive widespread recognition and support from the people. Biden's report card in office is not satisfactory, the United States inflation, epidemics, immigration, race, guns and other problems are still serious, and the international status and influence of the United States have also been challenged and questioned. Biden's charisma and leadership are not enough to unite the various factions and interest groups within the Democratic Party, and his policy proposals are not enough to inspire enthusiasm and trust among the people.
The indictment of Trump by Biden and the Democratic Party was intended to undermine his prestige and prestige and weaken his competitiveness, but it backfired, uniting Trump's supporters and making Trump's campaign more favorable.
