A new poll finds that a clear majority of Democrats would prefer another presidential nominee in 2024, other than President Joe Biden.
What Happened: The latest poll from ABC News/Washington Post finds that 56% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents would prefer another candidate other than Biden in 2024. Only 35% said they want to see the president run for re-election.
Biden’s overall approval rating was 39%, with 54% of those polled indicating their disapproval of his performance. The numbers were slightly more negative in evaluating his management of the economy, with 36% approving and 57% disapproving.
When it comes to the potential of Donald Trump running for president in 2024, the poll found that Republicans and GOP-leaning independents are evenly divided on having him as their nominee. The results found 47% supporting Trump as their candidate, while 46% said they would prefer another Republican representing the party in 2024.
ABC conducted additional polling on a Biden-Trump race in 2024, finding that 48% of respondents would vote for Biden and 46% would support Trump. Although, the results for registered voters found that 48% backed Trump, while 46% chose Biden, showing a virtual tie in a potential face-off.
