Face-to-face with Trump 41%: 48% inferior
U.S. President Joe Biden (center) is holding a re-election campaign in Manassas, Virginia on the 23rd (local time). He did not participate in the primary held in New Hampshire to select the ruling Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, but his supporters wrote his name on the ballot in large numbers and he came in first place. Manassas = AP Newsis U.S. President Joe Biden won a landslide victory in the New Hampshire primary to select the ruling Democratic Party’s presidential candidate on the 23rd (local time). Even though President Biden did not register as a candidate in the primary on this day, he overwhelmed competitors such as Congressman Dean Phillips and author Mary Ann Williamson.
President Biden requested the Democratic National Committee to change the presidential primary schedule last year, saying that the population distribution of New Hampshire, where 93% of the population is white, does not reflect the racial diversity of the United States. The leadership of the Democratic Party accepted the wishes of the incumbent president, who is in fact a strong presidential candidate, and decided to hold the first primary in South Carolina on the 3rd of next month instead of the existing state of New Hampshire.
However, the New Hampshire Democratic Party branch strongly opposed this decision and decided to push ahead with the primary. In the end, President Biden did not go through New Hampshire’s candidate registration process, and his name was excluded from the ballot. Accordingly, supporters launched a ‘write in’ campaign to show support by writing Biden’s name on the ballot paper. New Hampshire allows such write-in voting.
On this day, with a vote counting rate of 89%, 51.4% of voters wrote President Biden on the ballot. Separately, 14.2% submitted ballots on which none of the other runners had voted. This is also presumed to be a vote of support for President Biden. The final vote rate is expected to exceed 65%.
President Biden issued a statement immediately after his victory and welcomed it, saying, “Thank you to everyone who wrote my name today.” President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris appeared side by side at an abortion rights protection event held in Virginia near the capital Washington on this day and appealed to rally support. It is interpreted as a move aimed at differentiating himself from former President Donald Trump, who was strongly anti-abortion.
On the same day, former President Trump also won the Republican primary in New Hampshire, raising the possibility that the November presidential election will actually be a contest between the two, just as it was four years ago.
However, in recent opinion polls, President Biden is lagging behind former President Trump in both bilateral and multilateral confrontations. In a survey of 2,346 voters conducted by Harvard University and public opinion polling company Harris Poll on the 17th and 18th, President Biden was behind former President Trump (48%) with an approval rating of 41%.
In a survey of 968 voters conducted on the 7th to 9th by Rasmussen Report, another public opinion polling company, the approval ratings of President Biden and former President Trump were 41% and 49%, respectively. In a five-party contest that included three third-party candidates who declared independent candidacy, the approval rating gap between President Biden (33%) and former President Trump (44%) widened to 11 percentage points.
