Majority of Democrats don’t want Joe Biden to run in 2024

A New York Times poll revealed that over 64% of Democrats would rather have someone else run as Democratic candidate for president in 2024. This same poll has 33% of the respondents approving of the job that Biden is doing. As for the country’s direction, only 13% believed that the United States is headed in the right direction.

From Fox News:

Times/Siena poll results also showed that only 33% of overall voters approve of the job Biden is doing, and only 13% said the country was on the right track — the lowest point in Times polling since the financial crisis more than 10 years ago.

More than two-thirds of independents said they disapprove of the president’s performance, with nearly half disapproving strongly, the Times/Siena poll found.

Even a 70% job-approval rating among Democrats stands represented a relatively low figure for the president as the 2022 midterms approach. Only 26% of members in Biden’s party said he should be renominated in 2024.

“Widespread concerns about the economy and inflation have helped turn the national mood decidedly dark, both on Mr. Biden and the trajectory of the nation,” the Times wrote.

“More than three-quarters of registered voters see the United States moving in the wrong direction, a pervasive sense of pessimism that spans every corner of the country, every age range and racial group, cities, suburbs and rural areas, as well as both political parties.”

Biden, already the oldest president in American history, has said repeatedly that he intends to run for reelection.
