Despite two indictments, Trump prevails as ‘Teflon Don’ in 2024 polling and confounds pundits

Former President Donald Trump appears to be living up to the name “Teflon Don” after new polling shows the 2024 GOP favorite ahead of President Joe Biden by several percentage points, gaining popularity in the face of a federal criminal indictment he argues is a “political persecution” by the Biden Justice Department.
 

The latest poll, conducted by Harvard CAPS-Harris, found that Trump is favored over Biden by at least 6 points in a hypothetical 2024 matchup for the presidency. In total, 45% of respondents favored the former president over the current, while just 39% said they would pick Biden for a second term.

Of those polled, 15% were unsure about the hypothetical race between the two.

The results come as Biden’s 2024 troubles continue to mount. A newly-released Dailymail.com/JL Partners poll showed 71% of Americans believe he is “too old” to run for reelection. That includes 49% of Democrats, 71% of independents and 73% of young people (18-29 years old).
