Joe Biden’s re-election prospects are looking dim as NBC polls show that a majority of his voters, supporters of Sanders or Warren, and voters under 35 do not want him to run again in 2024.
NBC POLL, among Democrats:
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 23, 2023
☝️ "53% of 2020 Biden voters say he shouldn’t run"
☝️ "64% of Democrats who voted for Sanders or Warren in the 2020 primaries think he shouldn’t run"

The top concern among these voters is Biden’s age and his ability to do the job. Additionally, his approval rating has dropped to just 41% among Americans, largely due to his handling of the economy.
Even CNN’s John King admits it’s difficult for Biden to ask for four more years when 74% of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction.

Commentary:
It’s not surprising that Joe Biden’s re-election prospects are looking bleak. His handling of the economy and the border crisis has been disastrous, and voters are starting to take notice.
Additionally, concerns about his age and ability to do the job are legitimate, especially given his recent gaffes and lapses in memory. It remains to be seen whether he will listen to the voters and decide not to run for re-election, or if he will stubbornly push forward with a doomed campaign.
