00:00Good morning and welcome to OneIndia News.
00:06In this coverage, we shed light on the US presidential elections
00:10and the star candidates running President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
00:16A recent NBC News poll had shed light on the stark divide between supporters
00:21of President Biden and former President Trump. Let's delve into the details.
00:26According to the poll, supporters of Biden and Trump are sharply divided across various lines,
00:32including the sources they rely on for news consumption.
00:36Biden is favored among voters who consume traditional media like newspapers and
00:41national network news, while Trump finds support among those who don't follow political news at
00:47all. The data highlights the strategies both candidates are employing as they navigate their
00:53campaigns. Despite the differences, the race appears relatively stable, thanks to the entrenched
01:00preference of their respective bases. Among registered voters, 54% primarily consume
01:08traditional news, while 40% rely on digital media. Biden holds a significant lead among
01:14traditional news consumers, while Trump edges out among digital media consumers.
01:20Republican pollster Bill McInturff remarked on the clear divide, noting that traditional
01:27news consumers overwhelmingly favor Biden, while digital media consumers show a more balanced
01:33preference. The trends extend beyond media consumption. Traditional news consumers generally
01:39have more positive views of Biden, while digital news consumers align more closely to overall
01:46voter sentiment. Similar trends are observed in the perception of Vice President Kamala Harris.
01:52However, Trump garners similar views across news consumer categories. Interestingly,
01:58Trump maintains a significant lead among those who don't follow political news.
02:04Analysts are intrigued by the trend, especially given the ongoing legal challenges faced by the
02:10former president. While third-party candidates also attract supporters from these segments,
02:17Biden's strong showing among traditional media consumers solidifies his position within the
02:23reliable voting bloc. Analyzing voter behavior reveals that those who primarily consume
02:29traditional media are more likely to vote consistently. This contrasts with those who
02:35don't follow political news, indicating potential volatility in their voting patterns.
02:41In conclusion, the NBC News poll underscores the significant role of media consumption
02:47in shaping political preferences. As the 2024 election approaches, understanding these dynamics
02:54will be crucial for both the candidates. Stay tuned with OneIndia News for further updates
