Morning Joe Sounds Alarm on ‘Unbelievable’ Poll Showing Voters Trusting Trump Over Biden on Key Issues: ‘Big Warning Signs’
Morning Joe sounded the alarm Friday morning as a new Marquette University Law School Poll showed voters trusting former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden on several critical issues in the coming 2024 general election.
“There’s been one poll after another poll after another poll this week that has shown that the Republicans are just absolutely bashing Democrats when it comes to issues,” Joe Scarborough opened the segment. “In fact, Gallup had to pull a few days ago where they reported the largest gap between Republicans and Democrats since they started taking these polls. And despite the fact Republicans have a massive lead, we always go late. How can people still go along and Republicans to go along with Donald Trump?”
Jonathan Lemire agreed that Trump as a candidate is bringing Republicans down, but added, “if they were had any other candidate there, I think there’d be real alarm among Democrats and the White House about what these polls are showing.”
“It’s a close race. We know that,” Lemire continued. “But look at this. Republicans or Democrats on issues like inflation, the economy, immigration —these are 25, nearly 30 point margins creating jobs.”
“It’s unbelievable,” Scarborough interjected.
“Huge, huge numbers,” Lemire said. “Now, the other way, Democrats, as you might expect, more trusted more on climate change, abortion policy, but policy, health care, Medicare and the like. But elections so often, Joe, as you well know, are decided on the economy. And these are big warning signs here. And certainly, there have been some other surveys and swing state voters, particularly among suburban voters who dislike Trump immensely but still really disapprove of how this White House has handled the economy.”
Willie Geist then jumped in to criticize the “Bidenomics” narrative rolled out by the White House and how that hasn’t lit the political world on fire.
