Democratic party voters are dissatisfied with the 81-year-old presumptive nominee, President Joe Biden, who will likely challenge former President Donald Trump, according to polling released by Fox News on Sunday.
The poll underscores the discord and disconnection that have gripped the Democratic Party since Biden declined to relinquish his leadership and permit an alternative Democrat to do so.
The survey showed:
- 54 percent of Democrat primary voters prefer an alternative to Biden.
- Just 43 percent of Democrat primary voters want to keep Biden.
The polling showed a slight uptick in negative sentiment against the president:
- October: 53 percent prefer an alternative, while 45 want to keep Biden
- March: 52 percent prefer an alternative, while 44 want to keep Biden
Prominent Democrats urged Biden to reconsider a second campaign against Trump in December, at which time he informed reporters that he was obligated to run for reelection. A reporter questioned Biden, “Would you be running if Trump weren’t running?”
“I expect so,” Biden replied. “But he is running, and — I just — I have to run.”
Conversely, Biden informed donors the day before his remark that he would likely abstain from running should Trump withdraw. Biden added that Democrats “cannot allow him [Trump] to win.
National and battleground state polling shows Biden losing to Trump:
- Morning Consult: Trump leads Biden in six of seven crucial swing states.
- NBC News: Trump leads Biden by two points.
- Fox News: Trump trounces Biden by four points.
