The 30% who support it want him to lose.
Nearly 60% of voters say that President Biden should not run for reelection in 2024, with most citing his age as the reason for their views, according to a new survey.
The Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll, done for Newsweek and released on Tuesday, found that 58% of voters do not want the 80-year-old commander-in-chief to seek a second term.
Only 30% of eligible voters polled said that Biden should run again in 2024, and 42% said the president’s advanced age was the most significant reason for their answer.
Other reasons voters cited for not wanting the octogenarian president to run for reelection included concerns with the Biden administration’s economic policies (16%), preferring other potential Democratic candidates (7%), and the results of the midterm elections (1%).
The poll, conducted on Dec. 5, surveyed 1,500 eligible voters, 12% of whom were unsure whether they thought Biden should launch a reelection campaign.
Biden, who is the oldest serving US president in history, has said he expects to run for another four year term but has pushed a final decision back until early next year.
It’s a wonder he’s made it this far.
