Trump and Biden in Virtual Dead Heat, According to The Premise Poll
In the first "Great Minds Think Data" podcast episode, hosted by Premise CEO Maury Blackman, Blackman announces Premise Poll results showing former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden in a dead heat 2024 presidential race as well as Trump defeating Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence by double-digit margins among Republicans.
On the other hand, The Premise Poll shows Democrats largely rejecting another Biden run, favoring Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with California Governor Gavin Newsom and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tying for third.
The new "Great Minds Think Data" podcast, hosted by Maury Blackman, CEO of Premise Inc., a global on-demand data insights company based in San Francisco, today disclosed the latest presidential poll (The Premise Poll) results showing President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump locked in a statistical dead heat for 2024 – Trump at 53% and Biden at 47%, within the margin of error.
The recent Premise Poll also predicts Trump defeating both Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence by double-digit margins among GOP voters for the 2024 presidential nomination.
Joining Blackman in this first "Great Minds Think Data" podcast episode was former President Bill Clinton's special counsel, Lanny J. Davis, who also advised President George W. Bush as part of a privacy and civil liberties panel.
In addition, the new Premise Poll results were exclusively shared with three leading national radio talk show hosts – Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, and John Fugelsang, whose shows are distributed on various radio platforms, including SiriusXM.
When discussing the Trump-Biden dead heat Premise Poll results, Blackman remarks during the podcast: "[It's interesting that the poll reveals to us] both Biden and Trump are not taking advantage of the substantial political problems that [are] facing the other. Despite Biden's low thirties poll ratings and relatively high inflation facing the country, especially at the gas pumps, according to this Premise Poll sample, Trump is not beating Biden. Yet Biden is not beating Trump despite all of Trump's problems related to his handling of the January 6, 2021 mob attack on the Capitol [and] attempt to overturn the 2020 election results."
Even so, Trump is immensely popular among primary-voting Republicans. He leads DeSantis by more than two-to-one – 69% versus 31% – and Pence by a three-to-one margin, 77% versus 25%.
Dems to Biden: Don't run again
On the other hand, Democrats have a clear message for President Biden – don't run again. By a margin of twenty-three points – 61% versus 38% – they reject another Biden run.
In additional polling of Democrats, preferences for candidates in place of Biden include Vice President Kamala Harris (21%) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (19%), with California Governor Gavin Newsom and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tied for third at 9%.
In anticipation of the 2022 Congressional midterm elections, the Premise Poll reveals 54% of the sample prefers Republican and 46% favor Democratic candidates. This type of "generic" poll on party preferences has historically closely correlated with Congressional election results.
