A new poll from The New York Times has been all over the media this week, as the poll showed that the race between Biden and Trump is tied - both candidates standing at 43%. But that number doesn't mean as much as this one: 14%. That is the percentage of respondents who say that don't want to vote for either person OR who say they simply won't vote. If Biden loses in 2024, it won't be because Trump was preferred by the public, it will be because Democrats stayed home due to a lack of enthusiasm, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains. <br /><br />Link - <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/upshot/biden-trump-poll-2024.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/upshot/biden-trump-poll-2024.html</a><br /><br />Check out our merch by visiting our store: <a href="https://www.buyrof.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.buyrof.com/</a><br /><br />Subscribe to our podcast: <a href="http://www.ROFPodcast.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.ROFPodcast.com</a><br /><br />Become a member today!: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYWIEbibRcZav6xMLo9qWWw/join" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYWIEbibRcZav6xMLo9qWWw/join</a><br /><br />Support us by becoming a monthly patron on Patreon, and help keep progressive media alive!: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheRingofFire" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/TheRingofFire</a><br /><br />Spread the word!

Have you seen that poll from the New York Times that literally every media outlet in the country has been talking about all week? You know, the one that shows that President Biden and former President Trump are each at 43%, the presidential race, his neck and neck, even though we've got 15 months until the election, oh my God, folks, we got us a horse race, right? That is exactly what this poll is designed to show. Again, I have not been on a single news website this week that has not mentioned this new New York Times poll showing the two candidates neck and neck. The New York Times itself has published more than four different stories on the poll that they conducted in addition to the original poll. So New York Times is milking this for all it's worth, and that should tell you everything you need to know about this poll. <br /><br />But here's the thing, I don't buy it whatsoever. First of all, folks, it's one poll. It's one poll. That's it. It's one poll. Now, if we start seeing every other poll tell us this same thing, then we're looking at a trend. But when you only have one poll, even though the New York Times says it's super accurate, you know, 'cause we were, we were mostly accurate last year, they said, so we're pretty confident in this one. I, they literally say that in the piece, by the way, um. So yeah, one poll is not a trend. Not to mention the fact that, as I said, we are 15 months out from the general election. And these hypothetical head-to-head matchups don't mean a thing. Especially because this one came out before Donald Trump got hit with the next two indictments that are coming. So I don't care about the poll. <br /><br />That's not entirely true. There's one part of the poll I do care about because there's only one part of the poll that's relevant. Donald Trump is not a threat to the Democrats winning in 2024. Donald Trump is not going to be the reason that Joe Biden loses if Joe Biden loses the reason that Biden would lose. And the poll does show this. So I said again, this, the one part of the poll that is concerning. You have 14% of respondents who say that they're gonna vote, third party, fourth party, fifth party, or more than likely they're not gonna vote at all. So 14% of voters in this poll say, eh, if I do vote, which I'm probably not, I'm gonna end up voting for somebody else, but again, I'm probably not even gonna go, I'm not gonna vote. The threat to Biden's reelection is people staying home low voter turnout. If we end up with low voter turnout in 2024, Trump wins because a neck and <br /><br />Neck race is still gonna give Donald Trump enough votes to win the electoral college again, even if he loses the popular vote by a couple million low voter turnout could kill the Biden administration though. And to be honest, it's kind of Biden's fault. It's the Democratic party's fault because what we're looking at right now is the number of people who say they are not enthusiastic at all on the Democratic side is nearly 25%. That's a massive amount of Democrats who are like, yeah, he's gonna be our nominee, and I'm not happy about it. 51% of Democrats say they are enthusiastic about it. <br /><br />51% say they're enthusiastic. So that means there's 49% of Democrats that are not enthusiastic. But there is a portion who says, I'm not enthusiastic, but I do think he's our best bet.<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5S-NSrY8c0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5S-NSrY8c0</a>
