Former President Donald Trump has entered landslide territory when it comes to his contest against President Joe Biden.

In the newest Rasmussen Reports poll the former president has a double digit lead over the president in the survey shared on June 20.

In a one on one election the former president handily defeats President Biden by 49 percent to 40 percent, a 9 point lead, but that lead extends to double digits when independent candidates Jill Stein, Cornell West and Robert Kennedy Jr. are added as Trump defeats Biden by a margin of 46 percent to 36 percent.

This weekend the former president spoke at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual Road to Majority conference where he encouraged supporters to vote,” Fox News reported.

“The evangelicals and the Christians, they don’t vote as much as they should. I don’t know if you know that,” he said to the attendees.

“You know they go to church every Sunday, but they don’t vote, and we have to make sure they vote just this time, because all you have to do is this time,” the former president said.

“You don’t have to vote in four years, but you have to vote this time,” he said.

Biden’s approval continues to sink among key Democratic voting blocs, including women, according to a New York Times polling analysis published this week.

In fact, the analysis found that Biden’s approval rating with women is the lowest it’s been for a Democratic presidential candidate since the 2004 election, during which then-President George W. Bush handily won reelection against Democratic challenger John Kerry.

The analysis highlights growing concerns regarding the president’s reelection prospects amid escalating costs. Women, who are crucial for the Democratic vote and often make the majority of household purchasing decisions, have shifted significantly in their political preferences. Four years ago, Biden held a 13-point lead over Trump among women, but recent polling shows Trump now leading by eight points, reflecting a 21-point swing, based on the New York Times’s average from over 30 polls since January, Breitbart News noted, citing the polling data.

Soaring costs under Biden — prices overall for most household goods and items — have risen about 20 percent across the board, which has impacted how women view him, especially black and Hispanic women. The Times noted:

Mr. Biden’s current struggles with Black and Hispanic women are especially striking. He is winning among Black women in the KFF survey by 58 percentage points, but that represents a significant drop from his 86 percentage point margin among Black women in the approach to the 2020 election, according to an average of New York Times/Siena College polls from that election. Mr. Biden’s lead with Hispanic women has also shrunk substantially, to about 12 points. The survey found Mr. Biden’s lead among women overall to be four points.

Inflation voters are more likely to be Black or Hispanic than women overall. They are more likely to be middle-aged. In Michigan, nearly 60 percent of Black women say inflation is the most important issue to their vote. A similar share of Hispanic women in Arizona say the same. For these women, inflation blows all other issues out of the water.

According to surveys by the Kaiser Family Foundation, twice as many women reported being better off financially under President Trump compared to the current administration. Notably, young women, a crucial demographic for Democrats, were nearly three times more likely to say they fared better financially under Trump than under Biden. However, 41 percent of young women observed no difference in their financial situation under either administration. Similarly, half of Black women also reported no noticeable financial change between the two presidencies, the Times reported.

Trump’s growing support among women follows his increase in support overall among black and Hispanic voters. Some surveys have him garnering more support from those two demographics than any Republican presidential candidate has managed since Nixon in the early 1960s.

While Biden and his administration continue to try and convince Americans that their lives are better under his economic policies collectively known as “Bidenomics,” the reality for a growing majority is that no, life was much better under Trump.
