Deep dives

Three-quarters of Democrats prefer someone other than Biden for 2024

A recent CNN poll reveals that 75% of Democrats want someone other than Joe Biden to be the party's nominee for the 2024 presidential election. The main reasons given for this preference are doubts about Biden's electability and a desire for a new candidate. The poll shows a significant increase in dissatisfaction with Biden compared to earlier this year. It also indicates that the state of the country and concerns about what Democrats might do in the future are critical factors driving this sentiment. This level of opposition within his own party presents a significant challenge for Biden as he continues to navigate his presidency and plan for his political future.
