Many Democrats don’t want Biden to run for reelection – poll
Beset by a sharp economic downturn, US President Biden is also facing perilous personal prospects ahead of the 2022 midterms, with many voters in his own Democratic Party saying he shouldn’t run for reelection in 2024, according to a new poll.
The survey, published by The New York Times, puts the president’s approval rating among Democrats at 70 percent, but only 26% say the party should nominate him again.
That latter figure swells to 94% among Democrats under the age of 30.
