Just spit-balling but IMO these are the reasons for Trump's polling momentum.

TL/DR, and not necessarily in order of importance:

1. The current Hamas/Jewish protest.
2. Trials.
3. Immigration.
4. Economics.
5. Recency bias.

First the current Hamas/Jewish protest makes me lol. Most of these college Hamas protesters are paid protesters that are roping in and provoking weak mined college students. These people are funded by George Soros and Rockefeller NGOs. What is funny is the Hamas protests have morphed into protest against the Jews. Both are strong Democrat Party strongholds, or supposed to be and they are fighting against each other. This forces Biden and his administration to talk out of both sides of their mouth in an attempt to appease Hamas but also keep Israel supporters on the Democrat plantation. Where Biden has been duplicitous with these current protest, Trump has remained consistent in his support for Israel, condemnation of Hamas and a peaceful resolution.

The Soros and Rockefeller NGOs have got to be frustrated with the current protest. You know they are hoping for a George Floyd moment to rope in Al Sharpton and other race agitators.

The Trump trials are self evident. I believe a lot of independent mined voters see them as political trials and Trump is getting the benefit of those optics.

Immigration is also self evident. Most of these illegals are flooding into Democrat run cities and making these shitholes more shitholie. Furthermore it's only a matter of time that one or a few of these illegals commits a major terror attack adding major negative polling pressure on the Biden administration.

IMO the economic front is the biggest anchor on the Biden presidency. I think I have identified the economic data that is driving economic uneasiness. Those data points are Real Median Household, Personal and Family incomes. They have all declined since 2019.



And zoomed in:


Just spit-balling but white suburban women who are willing to give Democrats their sympathy vote in 2020 when times felt good may not be feeling it right now because they can't buy the same amount of groceries or go on similar vacations that they did a few years ago.

Then there is recency bias. This is a human condition because we like to remember the good times. Both Trump and Biden have a presidential track record to compare and the recency bias is hurting Biden a little more than Trump.

These college protests are so annoying. They aren’t protests. They’re frat parties for ugly miserable people who can’t find dates.

I refuse to take them seriously- and they will have no effect on the election.

The border and inflation are 1 and 1A.

The ME clusterfrick and these protests have been a gift from the gods in turning the left on each other.

Wouldn't these protestors vote Green party rather than Biden who is supplying Israel? Why do so many on this board think that protests like this are aimed to help the democrats?

It’s the economy stupid. The press can beat the bandwagon all they want that Bidenomics are working. People feel the reality when they go to the pump and it’s 1.8x more or when they check out and $100 buys 1/2 the groceries it did.

Most people and especially voters can tell the economy isn’t working right now.

A close second is security, people want to feel safe I. Their neighborhoods and world. We are less safe than we have been in decades.

The people paying the protesters are Soros and Rockefeller NGOs.

I guess the people at the top, Soros and Rockefeller families, just expect their NGOs to come to them every four years with their hands out and they oblige as usual. They probably just assume that these NGOs will work on their behalf. But the agitation this time around has kind of backfired. I believe the Hama sympathizers on campus see Israel as white Jewish oppressors with much focus on "white" but in reality you have two Democrat core groups fighting against each other.

I agree but I needed the data to support this hypothesis. That's why I posted the Real Median Household, Personal and Family income charts. They have all declined since 2019 and people are feeling it.

Lolol. You think the Soros and Rockefeller families hold annual meetings at Martha’s Vineyard? The catering bill must be astronomical.

No.

They fund NGOs. The NGOs do the work.

Exactly. When CNN is talking about stagflation, you know it has been around for awhile and just can not be ignored any longer. Looks like the FED is gonna need POTUS Trump to bail the FED out!!

It may not be Martha’s Vineyard but it’s close. So, that’s exactly what I know.

Tell me…how does it feel living under a rock?

You misspelled inflation and immigration, the rest is inconsequential including his trials. If inflation were down and the border were relatively secure, his trials would be a rallying cry for the right but that’s about it.
