New information about the 2024 presidential election has Joe Biden highly concerned about his prospects—and officials in the Democratic Party sweating out their sleepless nights.
The Biden-Harris reelection campaign is in trouble on every front, and with almost every single segment of the American people, except one.
The president and vice president found out they aren’t popular with their own fundraisers. The Democratic National Committee won a total of $51 million in donations in the month of April—not small potatoes, but a far cry from the $76 million donors gave the GOP during the same time period.
It’s also way down from the month of March, when the Democrats hauled in $90 million in a single month.
Biden isn’t in terrible shape financially: Trump has $93.1 million cash-on-hand, compared with Biden’s $192 million total cash haul. “But,” reports ABC News, “that was also roughly the same amount it reported having at the end of the year’s first quarter on March 30 — suggesting the campaign was spending funds as quickly as it raised them.”
If finances look bad, the polls are even worse.
A new poll released on Monday shows Donald Trump leading Biden by a whopping six percentage points.
49 percent of the American voters back Trump, compared to 43 percent for Biden, with eight percent undecided.
Trump still leads over Biden when you count in independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll reported.
Harvard? No one can accuse them of being biased in favor of Donald Trump.
That builds on a poll showing Trump trouncing Biden in every swing state except Michigan, conducted by The New York Times—again, not a pro-Trump news outlet.
In fact, the problem the Democrats have to face is that Biden is trailing Donald Trump with every single demographic group in the United States, except one: unmarried women.
A new poll from Edison Research Network found married men support the Republican Party by 20 points; married women back Republicans by 14 points; and single men back the GOP by seven points.
But unmarried women support the Democratic Party by an unbelievable 37 percentage points.
Trump doesn’t have a “woman problem”; he has a single woman problem…and he’s not alone. Democrats have dominated unmarried women for decades.
Single women have backed the Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 by 27 points, in 2016 by 29 points, Obama by 25 and 26 points, and by 14 points in 2004.
“Do unmarried women vote overwhelmingly for Democrats for policy reasons, or are Democratic women just far less likely to be married?” asked one commentator.
The Democratic tilt of single women isn’t just applied to the presidential race; it runs the gambit of every politician, in every race.
A 2022 midterm election poll showed, while every other demographic favored Republicans by between seven and 20 percentage points, unmarried women broke Democratic by an incredible 37 points.
“Single women are overwhelmingly the base of the modern Democrat party,” said conservative personality Jack Posobiec in 2023.
Christian talk show host Steve Deace says it all comes down to one issue: abortion.
“This isn’t about our messaging, candidates, or kooks. It’s simply that single women want to kill their children whenever they want. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. This is spiritual,” said Deace in April. “No mere political message or candidate can overcome that.”
Others say the picture is more complicated and rooted in the nature of each sex: Men look to themselves for stability. Married women rely on their husbands.
Unmarried women increasingly turn to the ever-expanding welfare state to help them foot the bills.
Three presidential elections ago, Barack Obama tried to show how much government entitlement programs impact every area of single women’s lives in a cartoon web ad about “The Life of Julia.”
“Like a growing number of single women with children, Julia is married to the state,” wrote a female contributor in a The Washington Post op-ed.
“Julia goes to school (with help from Headstart and federal student loans), she works (thank you, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and Small Business Administration), she has a son (free health screenings brought to her by Obamacare) and she retires (Social Security and Medicare pay the bills while she volunteers in a community garden).”
Whatever motivates unmarried women to support liberal politicians, American is nearly at a tipping point: “In 2022, about 132.3 million or 49.3% of Americans age 15 and over were unmarried,” according to the U.S. Census’s 2022 Current Population Survey.
A majority of adult women, 52 percent in 2021, were unmarried, a survey from Wells Fargo Economic found.
Every election for the foreseeable future may turn on Republicans’ ability to appeal to single women.
Trump will have to prove he can win over these unmarried women voters.
Our country’s future may depend on it.
