Immigration is officially the number one issue of the 2024 presidential election - and it’s an issue where Joe Biden is getting absolutely crushed.
As the Daily Caller reported:
CNN Data Reporter Harry Enten described how former President Donald Trump held a massive advantage over President Joe Biden on the issue of immigration.
Biden has only a 32.6% approval rating on his handling of immigration, according to the RealClearPolling average of surveys from Feb. 21 to March 19. Enten noted that the situation changed drastically from the 2020 election.
“This is one of the trend lines that I think really tells the story that is the difference between this election and the 2020 election,” Enten told CNN host Anderson Cooper. “So, if you ask voters, who do you think would do a better job handling border security and immigration, what do we see? We see that back in 2020, it was basically a dead even split, right? Joe Biden was slightly favored, but not overwhelmingly.
“Look at where we are today. In a Marquette University Law School poll that was put out last month, look at that advantage that … Donald Trump has on immigration and border security,” Enten continued. “It’s near 30 points. This is a tremendous change that’s going on and it’s no wonder that Donald Trump is running on immigration and he’s not just running on it in the Republican primary, he’s running on it in the general election and I also think that’s why there hasn’t been quite the backlash that you might expect over Trump’s comments, some of which I, of course, wouldn’t make, and it is because that voters at this particular point are quite concerned about immigration and they trust Donald Trump on this particular issue.”
While Biden did briefly pretend to care about the border crisis that he caused last month (which he didn't blame on himself, obviously), that didn’t last for long, with his latest strategy for the border being hoping it magically resolves itself.
When asked by Fox’s Caroline McKee when a border executive order is coming, Biden replied “I’m counting on the border action happening by itself,” adding “They’re passing it,” referring to Congress.
