Despite the indictment, he retains a huge lead in national polling to determine the 2024 Republican presidential candidate.

Key Points: 
  • Despite the indictment, he retains a huge lead in national polling to determine the 2024 Republican presidential candidate.
  • Polls of early states will become more important as we approach these contests, but for now national polls are the best guide we have.
  • In the FiveThirtyEight aggregate of national Republican primary polls, Trump currently leads with 53.1%, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis far behind on 21.2% and nobody else over 6%.
  • Trump’s lead has only marginally declined from 53.5-20.8 over DeSantis in my last US politics article in late May.

Biden’s ratings have not improved since debt limit deal

    • In late May, President Joe Biden agreed to a debt limit deal with Republican House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and the deal was passed by both chambers of Congress by June 1.
    • Biden’s ratings in the FiveThirtyEight aggregate are currently 54.2% disapprove, 41.2% disapprove (net -12.9).
    • In my May US politics article before the debt limit deal was struck, his net approval was -10.4.
    • The failure of Biden’s ratings to improve after the debt limit deal suggests Republican rhetoric on the need for spending cuts in the lead-up to the debt crisis was effective, and that McCarthy could have pushed for deeper cuts than what occurred.
    • Bad news for Trump regarding the indictment (his national favourability ratings have fallen) may be compensated by Biden’s drop in approval ratings.

Boris Johnson resigns from UK parliament

    • Johnson knew he would be forced to a byelection, so he resigned preemptively.
    • As Sunak and Johnson are rivals, it’s very unlikely that Sunak will allow Johnson to return as a Conservative candidate.

Right and far-right are doing well in Europe

    • If this occurs, Spain will follow Italy last year as the second major European country to fall to the right.
    • In Germany, the centre-left Social Democrats formed a governing coalition with the Greens and pro-business Free Democrats after the September 2021 election.
