More voters believe the defeat of President Joe Biden next year will help the economy, and Democrats are remarkably split over keeping their president in office or helping their bottom line.
In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 48% of likely voters said Biden’s defeat would help improve the sluggish economy. Another 34% said his defeat would be bad for the economy, and 18% said it wouldn’t have an impact or they didn’t know.

Among Democrats, 42% said his defeat would be bad for their wallet, but 38% said it would be “good,” according to Rasmussen in the polling outfit’s latest showing that Democrats are souring on Biden.
For its running daily poll, Rasmussen asked voters to rate the Biden economy. Here’s what voters said:
- Poor — 47%
- Fair — 16%
- Good — 23%
- Excellent — 12%

At this stage of President Donald Trump’s term, most voters, 58%, said the economy was good. It was before the COVID crisis hit.
But more than not said rejecting Trump would be good for the economy, 44%-39%. That was mostly driven by Democrats’ dislike of Trump. Unlike Democrats in Tuesday’s survey, Republicans in August 2019 overwhelmingly said defeating Trump would be bad for the economy, 58%-28%.
