Donald Trump holds a 1 point advantage over President Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential election in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
Many of these polls oversample Democrats. Most survey registered voters or whoever answers the phone when the pollster calls.
Rasmussen Reports surveys U.S. likely voters, those who actually cast votes, and they show Trump with an 8 point lead. They also found little impact from third party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein, or Cornell West.
The deep state, swamp, blob, ruling class, establishment, uni-party, or whatever is today’s term de jour for the permanent administrative state has been pulling out all the stops to vanquish Trump.

Nonsensical lawfare investigations, lawsuits, special counsels, and baseless accusations are thus far having no effect on “Teflon Don.” That could change, but the Democrats and Never-Trumpers are determined and resourceful. What’s their plan, given that Trump has so far been unstoppable?
President Trump added three relatively conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court over the histrionics of the left, going so far as to accuse one of the nominees of participating in “rape trains” during high school.
Ironically, this current right-leaning court may be Trump’s undoing. And Democrats and Never-Trump “Republicans” are ready to take advantage. SCOTUS placed the knife between Trump’s electoral ribs, the “Trumpophobes” will shove it in deep.
Formerly red, now deep blue, Colorado, with a feckless Republican Party as dysfunctional as a circular firing squad, attempted via their far-left Secretary of State, to keep Trump off the Colorado ballot claiming he is an “insurrectionist.”
Never mind that he has neither been accused nor convicted (other than by Democrats and the media) of insurrection. That did not matter to the Colorado Supreme Court which in their self-proclaimed wisdom deemed that Trump did indeed incite an insurrection.
Perhaps Colorado justices believed that Trump’s words on January 6, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” was a call to overthrow the government that at the time, Trump was in charge of.
Some insurrection.
A few hundred unarmed protesters, wandering through the Capitol, one dressed as a shaman, were about to take control of the three branches of the federal government including the military.
Perhaps the thin air in the Mile High City led to some hypoxic confusion at the Supreme Court building. Or more likely four of the justices just didn’t like Trump and wanted him banished to one of his many golf courses.
As expected, this case arrived at the U.S. Supreme Court where a March 4 decision stated:
The Constitution empowers Congress to prescribe how those determinations should be made. The relevant provision is Section 5, which enables Congress, subject of course to judicial review, to pass “appropriate legislation” to “enforce” the Fourteenth Amendment.
A concurring judgment by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson clarified:
The majority announces that a disqualification for insurrection can occur only when Congress enacts a particular kind of legislation pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment.
In other words, Congress, by a simple majority, can pass a bill claiming that Trump is disqualified from election due to being an “insurrectionist.” An insurrection can be whatever Congress says it is, just like a man wearing a dress can be a woman. When Joe awakens from his nap, he will sign the bill, making it law.
Easy peasy.
This may explain why several Trumpophobe Republican House members have bugged out, trimming what was already a thin House Republican majority.
GOP Reps. Kevin McCarthy, Ken Buck, and Mike Gallagher all abruptly resigned from Congress, leaving Republicans with only a one-vote majority in the House.
Buck hinted that more of his colleagues may resign, potentially leaving Hakeem Jeffries and Democrats controlling U.S. House.
Republicans foolishly expelled Rep. George Santos, a reliable conservative vote, rather than letting him finish his term. He already stated that he wouldn’t run for reelection. Another R vote gone.
