Wow!: NBCs Kristen Welker Shocked By New Truly Stunning Biden-Trump Poll

NBC News Kristen Welker, on Sundays broadcast of Meet The Press, expressed her surprise at new polling over a potential 2024 election between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump .

They involved some truly stunning numbers, she told colleague Steve Kornacki.

They really are, Kornacki agreed. When you ask folks, Hey, if its the general election and its Trump versus Biden, in our poll, Donald Trump now leads Joe Biden by five points. Compare that to the last time we pulled back in November. Trump was ahead then, but it was only by two points.

Its even more significant when you look at it this way, he added. Over time, we have been testing for five years now, going back to 201a Biden-Trump match-up. Remember 2019, 2020 Joe Biden led. He led big in every single one of our polls. For the first time in November, Donald Trump pulled ahead in our poll. And now, at five points, this is the biggest lead NBC has ever had in 16 polls for Donald Trump over Joe Biden.

Bidens approval rating was now 37% in favor and 60% disapproved, Kornacki noted.

Its the lowest approval rating since former President George W. Bushs second term, said Welker.

On voters confidence in handling the U.S. economy, Kornecki pointed to Trumps 55% rating and Bidens 33%.

Wow, said Welker.
