‘Double Haters’ Still Up for Grabs

April 29, 2024 at 1:04 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

A new Monmouth poll finds about 1 in 6 voters hold unfavorable views of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

“Most of this group remains up for grabs in the general election as few have a strong inclination to vote for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.  In other poll results, most Republicans say immigration and inflation are their top presidential election issues while abortion is the most determinative voting issue for Democrats. The Israel-Gaza war and climate change are much less important for voters in either party.”

“In a Biden-Trump rematch, just over 4 in 10 registered voters say they will either definitely (32%) or probably (11%) vote for the Democratic incumbent and, in a separate question, a nearly identical number will definitely (30%) or probably (14%) support the former Republican president. About half say they will definitely not vote for Biden (49%) and a similar number – although not the same voters – say they have definitely ruled out Trump (48%). These results have not moved much since last fall.”
