Talk about depressed.
Stuck with an unpopular president and a weak replacement bench, Democratic voters appear to be throwing their hands up in frustration when it comes to who they would like as their 2024 nominee.
In a new I&I/TIPP poll, just 29% of Democrats picked President Joe Biden. And tied for second at 12% were Vice President Kamala Harris and “Not Sure.”
And that’s Biden’s base. Throw in Republicans and independents, and the president in the national survey drops to 19%, beat handily by “Not Sure” at 28%.
“For a sitting president barely into his second year in office to be below 20% in the next election’s preference shows just how low Biden has dropped in the public eye. Last week’s I&I/TIPP Poll results showed that a similar level (21%) of Americans didn’t think Biden would even finish his first term, much less run for a second,” said the survey analysis.
The survey offered the names of 19 top Democrats, “Other,” and “Not Sure.” Among Democrats, only Harris was picked in double digits, at 12%. Among all voters, no one except Biden scored double digits.
The only other Democrats with hints of support were Sen. Bernie Sanders, former first lady Michelle Obama, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“So, taken together, it’s ABB — Anybody But Biden,” said the poll analysis.
