AT this writing, polls in the United States are showing President Joe Biden overtaking former president Donald Trump in voters' preferences on who should win the elections come November 2024. There are pundits who consider this as the start of a historical trend. The odds are usually in favor of the incumbent provided the national economy is doing well.

The performance of the US economy under Biden has been, in fact, the best among advanced countries and has been infinitely better than during Trump's term of office. This fact has only to be brought to the appreciation of voters, which the well-funded Biden campaign team is set on doing. It's inconceivable that the 7 million voters that brought Biden's victory and Trump's defeat in 2020 will have disappeared in November.
