The latest national poll shows that Republicans are more enthusiastic about former President Trump returning to the White House than Democrats are about President Biden serving another four years in office.
But a poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that Trump has stirred more anger and fear among Democrats than Biden has among Republicans.
Fifty-four percent of Republicans asked in the poll said they were “excited” about how they felt about President Trump’s second term. Only 4 in 10 Democrats said the same about Biden’s victory in November’s rematch between the White House incumbent and his predecessor.

The survey also found that seven in 10 Democrats used the words “anger” or “fear” to describe how they would feel if Trump won the presidential election.
Fifty-six percent of Republicans said they would say the same thing if Biden defeated Trump for the second year in a row.

But Biden currently has the upper hand in fundraising, another important metric.

Can Trump go toe-to-toe with Biden in the 2024 fundraising battle?

Mr. Trump, 77, will also need to reach out to the large swath of Republican voters who backed Nikki Haley for the party’s nomination. The former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor was Trump’s last remaining rival until he ended his White House campaign earlier this month. Haley’s endorsement spotlights Trump’s weakness with suburban and highly educated voters.
Further complicating matters, the presidential rematch between Biden and Trump is not a two-candidate campaign.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent Democratic candidate, is working to get his name on state ballots across the country. Mr. Kennedy is a longtime environmental activist, prominent vaccine skeptic and scion of the famous Kennedy political dynasty, with support in double digits in many general election polls.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein and progressive independent candidate Cornel West received single-digit vote percentages. The centrist group No Labels is also moving ahead with plans that could result in a third-party “unified” presidential ticket.
Although third-party and independent candidates did not play a major role in the 2020 presidential election, they played a major role in the 2016 showdown between Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. And it may happen again in 2024.
