Majority of Dems Think Biden Should Be Replaced
11 comments
Quite a show of support for a first-term president from your own party.
And the numbers are grimmer than grim for Biden.
Technically the NPR-PBS Marist poll is asking Dems and leaners, "Do you think Democrats have a better chance of winning the presidency in 2024 if Joe Biden is the party's nominee, or if someone else is the party's nominee?" But that's the kind of question that reveals support for a candidate without forcing members of his own party to cross a red line and toss out their own.
Looking ahead to 2024, 36% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say their party will have a better chance winning the White House with Biden at the top of the ticket. 44% want someone else, and 20% are unsure.
Those numbers are bad enough.
When was the last time that a majority of Democrats wanted to replace their guy in the White House in his first year?
Believe it or not, these numbers just get catastrophically worse.
Independents are done with Biden. 51% think another candidate would do better.
The only group that at least splits on Biden in 2024 is "non-whites".
Among white Democrats, only 30% think Biden is their best bet, 44% think someone else would do better.
But the meteor really arrives among Democrat white college graduates where only 28% think the party's smart move would be keeping Biden.
That's a little over 1 in 4.
In even worse news, the gender gap isn't working for Biden. Democrat men marginally support Biden a little more than Democrat women.
Is there any good news for Biden? Yes, Kamala is still his VP.
JOE DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT PEOPLE THINK. HE'S A LYING SOCIOPATH!

Watch — The World Is Laughing at Joe Biden: ‘Needs a Retirement Home and a Bowl of Soup’
President Joe Biden’s public struggles with even the simplest usage of the English language have been well documented on the U.S. political scene.
From confusing his wife, Jill Biden, with his sister, Valerie, to saying in the lead-up to last year’s presidential race he is a “candidate for the United States Senate” and people could “vote for the other Biden” if he is not their preferred candidate, it appears he can be easily baffled by the most simple of tasks.
Simply acknowledging his own position ahead of that of Vice President Kamala Harris once proved too much for his cognitive faculties.
Biden was even forced to take notes out of his jacket when asked a simple question about “the most recent hack by the Russians” during an ostensibly unscripted visit to a farmer’s market earlier this year in Central Lake, MI.
Now other countries and commentators are noticing.
Sky News Australia ran an item solely devoted to Biden and his public gaffes last Friday, with host Rita Panahi observing Biden “needs a retirement home and a warm bowl of soup, not access to the nuclear codes” after showing several of his gaffes in recent speeches.
Watch for yourself below:
The laughter from Down Under is being translated into a lack of trust closer to home for the president.
As Breitbart News reported, NBC anchor Chuck Todd debuted a new poll on Sunday’s broadcast of “Meet the Press” which showed 71 percent of Americans believe America is on the wrong track.
Who do they blame?
The same poll reveals all. It showed Biden’s approval rating stands at a dismal 42 percent versus 54 percent who disapprove.
That is no laughing matter for a man who appears barely on first name terms with the English language.
Poll: Only 36 Percent of Democrats Want Biden on 2024 Ticket After 10 Months in Office
Only 36 percent of Democrats want President Biden on the 2024 ticket after holding office for ten months, a NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist National poll revealed Monday.
While only one third of Democrats wants Biden to run again, 44 percent would prefer a different candidate run in 2024. Twenty percent said they are unsure.
In contrast, when Republicans were asked if the GOP had a “better chance of winning the presidency in 2024” if Donald Trump were the party’s nominee, 50 percent said Trump was the best candidate to recapture the White House. Only 35 percent said they prefer another Republican to Trump while 14 percent were unsure.
The poll also revealed just 44 percent of Americans approved of Biden’s performance as president. Forty-nine percent disapproved. In October, 45 percent approved and 46 percent disapproved.
Meanwhile, NBC revealed Sunday that 71 percent of Americans believe the nation is on the wrong track. Only 22 percent of Americans believe America is headed in a positive direction.
The polling comes as Biden’s presidency is likely dragging down Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe in Virginia, where state polling indicates the Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin narrowly leads the Democrat. Virginians will determine the race’s outcome Tuesday.
Among Virginia’s likely voters, only 46 percent approve of Biden while 53 percent disapprove. “Biden’s sinking popularity has emerged as a key factor dragging down hopes of another party victory and making the state look, once again, more like a battleground than a Democratic stronghold,” the liberal Washington Post reported.
Biden’s disapproval numbers in the state could also impact 100 down-ballot races in the House of Delegates. Media reports indicate low enthusiasm for Democrats while Republicans are far more motivated.
“Polls show Youngkin winning virtually every Trump voter who says he or she is planning to participate next week, but his ability to bring the former president’s base along while keeping Trump at arm’s length is even more impressive than that,” Politico wrote Saturday.
