🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Pivot, featuring Kara Swisher and Dan Pfeiffer, What the Latest Polls Tell Us About the 2024 Race explores polls Show Biden Vulnerable As Trump Strengthens, But Voters Fluid Dan Pfeiffer joins Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway to unpack 2024 polling that currently shows Donald Trump with a slight lead over Joe Biden, and Biden’s approval at a low point. He argues the numbers are serious but not destiny, with Trump largely consolidating his 2020 voters while Biden underperforms with his own former supporters and young voters. They discuss why Nikki Haley looks strong in general-election matchups yet remains highly unlikely to win the GOP nomination in a MAGA-dominated party. Pfeiffer outlines strategic imperatives for Democrats: make 2024 a clear choice, not a referendum on Biden; meet voter economic anxieties on prices rather than macro stats; and reframe Trump’s “strongman” appeal around his weaknesses and concrete harms to voters’ lives.
