"Recent Reuters/Ipsos poll results suggest President Biden's age, economic troubles, and crime concerns might open the door for a Trump comeback," Vox Populi noted.
"If the election were held today, based on the polls Trump would win decisively," it stated.
The 2024 Trump-Biden rematch continues to shape up as the former president leads by a wide margin over GOP primary contenders.
Unless Trump is stopped due to his legal battles or a massive shift in public opinion, he is headed for a comeback battle similar to 2020, hoping for a different outcome.
Biden and fellow Democrats are now looking for ways to both minimize Trump's surge and increase their own standing as numbers shift in favor of the former president.
