U.S. voters’ thoughts post-midterm elections and Twitter poll

The 2024 Presidential election is swiftly taking center stage

According to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey, unhappiness with the direction of the country remains in place with President Joe Biden’s approval flat at 43 percent.

Additionally, a majority of American voters continue to say their financial situation is becoming worse, with four in 10 voters believing the country is in a recession.

Another four in 10 think it will be in a recession next year.

Among GOP voters polled, Trump’s support in a 2024 primary fell 9 points to 46%, while DeSantis rose 11 points to 28%.

In a hypothetical 2024 presidential race, DeSantis runs even with Biden and beats Harris by 3 points.

These are the results from the monthly collaboration between the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS) and the Harris Poll and HarrisX.

However, it’s important to note that in the past several years, poll results have struggled to capture accurate overviews.

As talk about the 2024 Presidential election swirls—billionaire Elon Musk held his own poll on Twitter.

Musk asked users to vote on whether to reinstate former President Donald Trump.

A little more than 15-million Twitter users voted in the poll with 51.8% voting in favor of reinstatement.

Trump has 87.5-million followers on Twitter compared to President Biden’s 36.4-million followers.

Following the reinstatement news, the former president said via video when asked whether he planned to return to Twitter by a panel at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting, “I don’t see any reason for it.”
