President Biden continues to lose the support of his own party.
According to a recently released ABC News/Washington Post poll, a majority of Democrats are hoping Joe makes his exit before the next election: 56% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents want a different candidate, with just 35% preferring Biden in the next presidential election.
Biden losing his base may be detrimental to his reelection bid —and echos the numerous high-profile Democrats who refuse to throw their endorsement behind Biden.
“Looking two years off, just 35 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents favor Biden for the 2024 nomination; 56 percent want the party to pick someone else. Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, for their part, split 47-46 percent on whether Donald Trump should be their 2024 nominee – a 20-point drop for Trump compared with his 2020 nomination,” a news release regarding the poll stated. “The unpopularity of both figures may encourage third-party hopefuls, though they rarely do well.”

According to a recent Rasmussen poll released last week, Republicans have a two-point lead in the party’s bid to take back Congress.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, if the elections for Congress were held today, 44% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 42% would vote for the Democrat,” the poll noted. Another 5% would vote for some other candidate, with 9% not sure.”
The ABC News/Washington Post poll surveyed 1,006 American adults and included a margin of error of 3.5%.
