A new survey done by Talker Research with the participation of 500 Democrats and 500 Republicans deduced that over one-third of Americans (37%) believe they would be a better president of the United States than the current candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. 

This comes amid a looming June 27 date when Biden and Trump will dominate the stage for the first presidential debate of the 2024 election season, and the poll shows that three in five Americans (61%) will be listening closely. 

The poll revealed that the top three topics that Americans want to see debated are the rising cost of living (50%), inflation (49%), and immigration (38%). Only 18% of Democrats view immigration as important to them, compared to 51% of Republicans. 

45% of Democrats say abortion and healthcare are critical, ranking as the second most important issue followed by the rising cost of living (51%), while only 15% of Republicans feel that way.

When it comes to the pressing issue of climate change, 29% of Democrats believe it's important as opposed to 7% of Republicans. However, 18% of Democrats see the Gaza and Ukraine wars are important compared to 13%.

In a more internal light, after Trump's conviction last month, three in 10 Americans – 29% – express that state laws should be altered to allow felons to vote, while a whopping 56% of Democrats are against it. 32% of Republicans were in favor and 30% weren’t sure. 

As a contender for the presidency, Trump is only limited by the provisions of the United States Constitution. The prerequisites are straightforward: The president must be at least 35 years old, a natural-born citizen of the United States, and have resided there for at least 14 years. There's no mention of criminal convictions.

If Trump is sentenced to prison and wins, practicality may be the only obstacle. It's unlikely he could manage the country from jail, and some legal experts believe the resultant constitutional crisis would necessitate suspending his sentence to complete his obligations as the nation's chief executive. It might be a few weeks before the judge in the hush money case sentences Trump, who could face up to four years in prison or none at all.

47% of Americans believe that state laws shouldn't allow felons to vote, regardless of party affiliation.

In addition, two-thirds of Americans paid attention to Trump's recent hush money trial and a massive 73% of Democrats tuned in as opposed to 59% of Republicans.  

New surveys published on Tuesday showed Trump leading Biden in five key battleground states. 

According to the results, Trump is ahead in Pennsylvania (3 points), Arizona (7), Michigan (7), Georgia (10), and Nevada (12). Biden dominated with 2 points in Wisconsin.
