Get ready for 7 little-known revelations in this week’s Election Insider.
- Were You Better Off Under Biden or Trump?
New polling data from CNN shows that 55% of respondents say Trump’s presidency was successful. That’s a big flip from the results of the same question after January 6th, 2021, when 55% said that the administration was a failure.
61% said that President Biden’s first term has been a failure.
- Third-Party Election: Changing the 2024 Election?
Independent Presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are often excluded from polls. But what happens when they are included?
Here are the results.
- Trump – 42%
- Biden – 33%
- Kennedy – 16%
- West – 4%
- Stein – 3%
The Libertarian candidate has yet to be chosen.
Question: Let me know who is hurt mostly by these independent candidates – Trump or Biden?
- Facebook: Used To Censor Only Republicans. Here Is What Has Changed.
In 2022, Facebook’s censorship focused solely on Republican, Conservative, Libertarian, and Christian content.
But now, in 2024, Facebook has already censored Biden’s opponents, RFK, Jr. (I) and Jill Stein (G).
- Money Can’t Buy You Love – Or an Election.
In my book The Great Deception, 10 Shocking Dangers, and the Blueprint for Rescuing the American Dream, I show how having more money does not guarantee a candidate will win.
Here is another good example.
Emily’s List, which backs Democrat women candidates who support abortion. Joanna Weiss just ran for a battleground seat in Orange County, California. The group spent more than $800,000 to support Weiss. She placed third in the state’s primary.
Another example is that money can’t buy you love.
- Green Party Presidential Candidate Arrested
Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential candidate, was arrested at an anti-Israel protest at Washington University in St. Louis, along with her campaign managers.
- A Landslide: What it Would Take
Ronald Reagan’s 18-point victory over Walter Mondale was big.
What would Trump need for a landslide?
A 9-point win by Trump would be considered a national landslide.
Bill Clinton’s 8-point reelection victory in 1996 was spectacular.
- Political Ad Spending Once Again Ahead Of 2020’s Pace.
$2.28 billion has been spent in the current 2024 political cycle, which exceeds the $2.15 billion spent at this point four years ago… and that’s without expensive presidential primaries.
President Joe Biden was the biggest spender.
The Biden campaign spent $6.3 million on advertising, including $1.4 million on digital ads.
The Biden Victory Fund, a political group backing the President’s re-election, spent an additional $526,000 on digital ads.
The Trump campaign did not directly spend anything on ads, although the MAGA Inc. political group backing Trump spent $2.9 million on ads.
The Trump National Committee JFC also spent $535.000 on digital ads.
Arizona is one of the top swing states in the presidential race. AdImpact says $30.3 million has already been spent in the state. 98% of the spending has come from pro-Biden advertisers as supporters see an opening following Arizona’s Supreme Court decision banning abortion.
In April, the Biden campaign spent $2.6 million across Arizona, the most in any state this month.
While $2.7 million was spent on presidential political ads over the past two weeks, $92.9 million was spent on political ads for other races.
The top market for political ad spending for all the candidates was Indiana, where $5.7 million was spent ahead of the May 7 Indiana primary.
Other states: Washington ($5.3 million) and Maryland ($5.2 million).
Most of the Maryland money came from Rep. David Trone (D-MD), whose campaign spent $4.9 million as he looks to fill the state’s U.S. Senate seat. Trone is the founder of the Total Wine & More retail chain.
$42.8 million in ad spending is allocated for the Maryland primary, which will be held on May 14.
