Voters trust GOP more to ‘handle crime and law enforcement issues’: Poll

Joe Biden’s America is one in which out-of-control violent crime has made people fear for their safety more than ever in recent years.

Violent crimes such as homicides and carjackings have hit record levels in recent years in many cities nationwide. Crime is most likely to be an important issue in the 2024 election, and that could be a problem for Biden and Democrats. Recent polls suggest more voters trust Republicans over Democrats regarding public safety.

A recent poll by Rasmussen found that “49% of voters trust Republicans more to handle crime and law enforcement issues, while 38% trust Democrats more.” If anyone has paid attention to how crime has exploded in cities controlled by Democrats and with rogue, radical, left-wing activists and typically George Soros-funded district attorneys, this Rasmussen poll shouldn’t be a shocking revelation. Democrats have made it known that their main concern in criminal justice matters is prioritizing the safety of criminals over the ordinary, innocent, everyday citizen.

As mentioned above, this could spell doom for Biden and the Democrats in the next election. After all, what good is electing Democrats into office if one has to worry about being murdered while walking a dog in a city or having one’s car stolen at gunpoint outside their residence? It’s probably why “83% believe crime will be an important issue” in the next election. Perhaps most importantly, this includes “52% who expect the issue to be very important,” according to Rasmussen.

Republicans have touted a need for the country to return to normalcy. This includes a criminal justice system prioritizing law and order instead of left-wing political ideals and theories.

Innocent lives matter; safety and security matter. Republicans believe in holding criminals accountable and keeping them in jail, especially when they are a threat to public safety. Democrats have demonstrated they believe the exact opposite. It’s no wonder why more people trust the GOP on crime.
