President Trump in 2024? Popularity continues to grow for the controversial and divisive politician

  • 6 months ago
It’s just over a week since Donald Trump's Iowa victory, where the former president defied expectations, winning almost all counties with a 51% vote and a 30-point lead.

That’s despite four indictments and two impeachments, his polarizing global image, and election denial stance.

His supporters now envision his second political rise. Globally, confusion persists: How does this divisive figure maintain such popularity?

This week, Trump's path to becoming the Republican Party candidate for president was strengthened after his largest rival pulled out of the race.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are matched in favorability with the American people, but despite being of similar age, concerns are growing regarding Biden's health. The question is that with Trump's growing strength, would the president be persuaded to step down?

Voting for the Republican Party nomination moves next to New Hampshire, where polling for The Washington Post gives Trump an 18-point lead over his last challenger, Nikki Haley. This makes it look ever more likely that a 77-year-old will be facing an 81-year-old in the race to be the next American president.
