Avast ye mateys! Afore ye, I present tidings of grand mirth! Former Cap'n Donald Trump hath garnered o'er 100,000 doubloons from the common folk, a bounty far greater than Cap'n Biden's treasure chest. Ahoy, the winds o' generosity blow favorably for ol' Trump!
President Biden is lagging behind former President Trump in terms of small dollar donations received during their respective campaigns in 2023, according to federal data. Small dollar donations are considered a significant indicator of overall enthusiasm for a candidate, and Trump's campaign received 668,000 donations of less than $200, while Biden's campaign received 564,000.The New York Times reported that despite the difference in small dollar donations, Biden's campaign ended the year with more cash on hand than Trump's. This suggests that Biden's strategy involves targeting wealthy Democratic donors.
Interestingly, Trump's lead in small dollar donations is not just limited to solidly Republican states like Florida and Texas. He is also ahead of Biden in key battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
In addition to the small dollar donation discrepancy, a national NBC News poll showed Trump outperforming Biden on important issues such as immigration and the economy. Biden trailed Trump by 23 points when voters were asked who would handle the economy better.
Despite Biden's recent claims that his economic policies are starting to show results, including lower inflation rates and job creation, the poll numbers indicate a significant lead for Trump.
In other areas, Trump also maintained substantial leads over Biden, including securing the border, having the necessary mental and physical health to be president, dealing with crime and violence, competitiveness and effectiveness, and improving America's standing in the world.
Overall, the NBC poll showed Trump leading Biden by five percentage points among registered voters in a hypothetical 2024 general election rematch.
