This chapter dives into the analysis of how polling data reflects voter preferences for policy proposals versus candidate preference between Biden and Trump. It examines popular policies aligned with each candidate's key issues and discusses challenges faced by Biden's campaign in connecting popular policy issues to his campaign. Additionally, the chapter explores the differences in policy messaging between Biden and Trump, the RNC's proposed platform goals, and the influence of abortion policies on voter opinions.
The purgatory continues. The number of lawmakers saying President Joe Biden should not run for reelection continues to tick up, while Biden’s answer — that he is staying in the race — remains the same. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, we look at data on which lawmakers are calling on Biden to step aside and who is continuing to support him.
The RNC also released its proposed platform this week and we use a good or bad use of polling example to better understand whether former President Donald Trump’s (and Biden's) policies are popular.
