If history is a guide to how the 2024 election will go, President Joe Biden appears to be headed for the dustbin.

That may be the interpretation based on new polling numbers that CNN reported showing Biden as the most unpopular incumbent president at this point in his first term. In stark contrast, former President Donald Trump is polling as the most formidable challenger of the 21st century. Much of it has to do with how Trump has consolidated support better than any general election Republican since their rivals dropped out, polling analyst Harry Enten explained.

“The one who’s actually getting the highest share after his opponents is actually Donald Trump this time around with 81%,” he said, adding, “This is actually a very strong performance for a non-incumbent after his opponents dropped out” compared to past results for Mitt Romney, Trump in 2020, and Biden today. And while mainstream media outlets have made hay over “protest votes” by Nikki Haley supporters, Enten said losing 20% of a primary vote is “not unusual” and poses no greater threat to Trump than a typical candidate.

“Donald Trump’s actually running historically strong for a non-incumbent in a presidential primary after his opponents dropped out,” he said.
