<p>In pro sports and movies like the &#8220;Rocky&#8221; series, everyone loves to see a rematch, but according to new polling, Biden vs. Trump 2024 would be the rematch nobody wants!</p>



<p>As of now, Biden has no serious challenger for the Democratic nomination, and former President Donald Trump is the clear front-runner for a third straight Republican nod.</p>



<p>Ironically, though a re-run of 2020 looks increasingly likely, it comes at a time when the vast majority of Americans believe the country remains on the wrong track. More pointedly, in a just-released NBC News survey, 70 percent of respondents said Biden shouldn&#8217;t run, and 60 percent said Trump shouldn&#8217;t.</p>



<p>To add to the sense of stagnancy, most polls show the longtime rivals within a few points of each other, suggesting there has not been a seismic political shift in the country since Biden won the 2020 electoral college on the strength of statistically narrow victories in several key states.</p>



<p>It seems inevitable that if the two men square off again, the rematch will be framed around Trump. Democrats say that will be helpful to them.</p>



<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be very hard to move voters in terms of their opinion of Donald Trump,&#8221; Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa. &#8220;A clear majority of Americans have a negative view of former President Trump.&#8221;</p>



<p>That&#8217;s true, but Biden&#8217;s approval ratings are also below the waterline: the NBC survey showed that 38 percent of adults see him in a positive light, while Trump&#8217;s number was at 34 percent.</p>



<p>Both men are leaning heavily on their records to act as validators for what they would do with a second term, which points to their myriad differences in the realms of politics, policy, and personality.</p>



<p>&#8220;There has never been a greater contrast between two successive administrations in all of American history,&#8221; Trump said in his statement after Biden announced his bid for re-election. &#8220;Ours being greatness, and theirs being a failure.&#8221;</p>



<p>Most pundits suggest that a feeling of “déjà vu all over again will damper enthusiasm and voter turnout should the Trump- Biden rematch occur. However, Brendan Buck, a longtime GOP strategist, predicted that the sequel to the last election would draw plenty of intense interest, largely because of the challenger&#8217;s ability to focus media attention on himself.</p>



<p>&#8220;In a normal world, you might expect this to drag down enthusiasm, but Trump will take care of that,&#8221; Buck said. &#8220;If this is the matchup we end up with, it won&#8217;t be a boring election, and it won&#8217;t lack for turnout.&#8221;</p>

Does Anyone Really Want a Trump-Biden 2024?
