A Public Religion Research Institute poll finds 64% of Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic party say they would prefer someone else other than Joe Biden to be the party’s nominee in 2024, while 34% say they would prefer Biden to be the nominee.
Dan Pfeiffer: “Even 41% of the Democrats and leaners who approve of Biden’s job performance say they would prefer a different candidate. Biden’s age is the overwhelming reason that Democrats are looking elsewhere. PRRI asked the Democrats to explain why they wanted someone other than Biden, and 70% of the answers involved age or the desire for younger leadership.”
“But, and this is a pretty big but, Democrats also really like Joe Biden. In that same poll, 80% of Democrats and Democratic leaners view Joe Biden favorably. To put that number in perspective, Trump, who has a massive lead in the GOP primary, is viewed favorably by only 69% of Republicans and leaners.”
