A major new poll has emerged that shows President Donald Trump surging toward a landslide victory in the critical November election.
The survey was conducted by Rasmussen Reports on June 20 and shows major enthusiasm for Trump’s return to the White House.
If that momentum were to carry through to November, Trump could be heading for a double-digit victory over Democrat President Joe Biden.
According to the American Presidency Project, the last president to have a double-digit margin over his opponent was former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
Reagan had an 18.2 percent edge over Democrat Walter Mondale in the popular vote.
In the 2024 race, Trump would beat Biden 49 percent to 40 percent in a two-candidate election, the Rasmussen poll said.
However, the outcome differs if third-party candidates are introduced into the equation.
If Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornell West are included, Trump sees a 10-point lead over Biden, 46 percent to 36 percent.
The poll had a margin of error of three percentage points.
This comes after Fox News was met with a backlash over a recent poll of registered voters showing Biden a two-point margin, despite most other polling showing Trump in the lead.
As Slay News reported, Trump slammed the poll as “trash” and accused Fox News of pushing pro-Biden propaganda.
However, the poll also noted that when it came time for voters who were “extremely” motivated to show their preference, Trump had a three-point lead.
On Saturday, Trump appeared at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual Road to Majority conference and urged attendees to vote.
According to NBC, Trump told the crowd:
“The evangelicals and the Christians, they don’t vote as much as they should.
“I don’t know if you know that.
“You know they go to church every Sunday, but they don’t vote, and we have to make sure they vote just this time because all you have to do is this time,” he said.
“You don’t have to vote in four years, but you have to vote this time,” he said, according to Fox News.
Trump then responded to the persecution that Christians faced during the pandemic.
“Never again will the federal government be used to target Americans of faith,” Trump said.
Referencing the court cases against him, Trump noted:
“They want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom.”
The audience applauded and cheered when Trump vowed that the “largest deportation operation in American history” would begin on Day One when he retakes the White House.
According to NBC, Trump called Biden “crooked,” a “Marxist,” “incompetent” and “a threat to democracy.”
“We need Christian voters to turn out and the largest numbers ever to tell crooked Joe Biden, ‘You’re fired. You’re fired, Joe. Get out of here,’” Trump said.
