Sixty-four percent of Democrats don’t want President Joe Biden to run for re-election in 2024, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll.
In the poll, 33 percent of respondents attributed age as the primary reason for wanting someone other than Biden to be the Democratic nominee, 32 percent said job performance, 12 percent just preferred someone else, 10 percent said he’s not sufficiently progressive, four percent said it comes down to his ability to win the general election and three percent cited his mental acuity.
Biden has repeatedly said he intends on running in 2024.
The poll gave Biden a 33 percent approval rating, and more than two-thirds of independents do not approve of how Biden’s doing his job. Just 70 percent of Democrats approve of Biden’s job performance — in this the first NYT/Siena poll of the midterm season
