Donald Trump Does Not Get Post-Shooting Poll Boost

Well, his "followers" where already convinced to vote for him, and he's so far out that people that did not follow him already actually have enough brain to not equate "assassination attempt" with "he's a hero", so there's that.

As much as I want this to be true (well I'd rather him be losing in all polls), this is disinformation at this moment.

The poll they are referencing is this one: https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling (Archive link)

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Trump maintains lead: Trump continues to lead Biden by 2 percentage points, 44% to 42%, unchanged from the previous week and superior to his standing in the lead-up to the first 2024 presidential debate, when the candidates were tied. The latest data was collected Friday through Sunday, meaning most responses were gathered before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

Additionally, I don't see any polls listed out here either that have been able to do a complete poll since the assassination attempt:

They way things work these days the shooting will be forgotten in 2 weeks.

This is pretty much exactly what I was expecting.

How many people are going to go switch to Trump just because he got shot at? It aint the 80s anymore, the average American has picked their fukken side and the game is all about which side can get their base to show up.

I think this confirms what we kind of already know; Trump has maxed out his support, and it's not much. Turnout is key for Democrats.

If Trump loses the election he got shot for nothing and will have the worlds most hilarious breakdown. Make it so.

There are those who see through Trump's bullshit and those who don't. And those who see through it won't have their views changed by this event.

We know how Trump would have reacted if the tables were turned. He wouldn't have condemned the violence. He would have made evasive and vague statements suggesting that the violence should continue. We know that because he has done it before. Many times. As a matter of fact he did call for political violence against Hillary in 2016 when he suggested that "the second amendment people should do something about it".

We are not fooled. We might not approve of political violence. But no amount of playing the victim is doing to make us forget that he is still a scumbag. We will vote him out.

Can we just take a step back and admire how completely bizarre this title sounds out of context?

The shooting changed no ones votes yet it completely demoralized the Dems to the point that their leadership think its over. The reason is they don't know what to campaign on anymore. They're too scared to run a negative campaign anymore. But they are also incapable of running any sort of positive campaign.

People are in their trenches. Nothing is going to change that. It's not like a lot of Trump voters, if any, would all of a sudden vote for Joe Biden if some ass had tried to kill him.

I don’t pity fascists; he’s got my full disapproval still, come November it’s Vote Blue time!

That's how shitty of a person he is. Every other terrible person got a boost from almost dying.

Yeah, he's kinda capped out on support. That shouldn't be too surprising.

I just never saw why he would. The people voting for him are cultists. The people against him have already been disgusted by him in one way or another, I just can't imagine how getting grazed would change their minds.

That he get's ~45%, how sad.

Make sense... those who drank the kool aid are in for him no matter what... getting shot at does not seem like a deciding factor for anyone "on the fence"

Let's keep trying until he gets that boost.

If the margin of error is of 2 points, you can't say that trump is leading, because both are statistically tied. I hate biased journalism.

Man, I really hope for the US and the rest of the world that most Democrats show up to vote. Otherwise, we know who to blame if Trump wins.

This mother f'er has to be the luckiest human to ever live.

why does he look disabled?

I just hope he gets the post-shooting boot. Let him go back to making terrible shows and not running our country.

The only thing missing from that picture is him holding the chain attached to Slave Leia.

aww did lil babby need a plaster for his lil oopsie?

See 2020. The same result is quite likely. I don't care what any new organization or poll says. Don't care.

Polls don’t account for the Grey Death that will arise from the nursing homes to vote when the time comes. Nor does it account for the younger generations who argue about politics online but won’t bother actually voting.

I'd say it's unlikely to change minds, but it could cause people to be even more forceful in their support and more likely to vote.

Isn't 2k voters a comically small sample to draw any results from? I hope it is true, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

“I don’t like people that get shot at.”

There are a number of conflicting polls but realize that they can't account for things like "enthusiasm gap" which definitely cuts in Trump's favor at the moment. That said, the newscycles have been so insane lately, who knows what the next 10 inflection points before the election will bring.

He does poll much higher than Harris in some polls that show up on Fivethirtyeight but it hardly makes much sense to include those polls, imo.

If it was me. I would stop my campaign out of respect for the family of the fallen.

That would be some sort of participation trophy.

A bit unrelated but the Stock price for Trump Media went up

We shall see in time. I am betting the false flag operation will pay off.

if Republicans win they do what they want and if Democrats win they let the Republicans do what they want

no matter what the outcome of the election is we will certainly be left with an elderly far right out of touch Christian who wants more police funding, less worker's rights with stagnated wages, less bodily autonomy, more state's rights, restrictive immigration policies, less education funding, more tax breaks for mega corporations
