Nearly two-thirds of Democrats say President Joe Biden should withdraw from the presidential race and let his party nominate a different candidate, according to a new poll, sharply undercutting his post-debate claim that “average Democrats” are still with him even if some “big names” are turning on him.
The new survey by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, conducted as Biden works to salvage his candidacy two weeks after his debate flop, also found that only about 3 in 10 Democrats are extremely or very confident that he has the mental capability to serve effectively as president, down slightly from 40% in an AP-NORC poll in February.
The findings underscore the challenges the 81-year-old president faces as he tries to silence calls from within his own party to leave the race and tries to convince Democrats that he’s the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump. The poll was conducted mostly before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. It’s unclear whether the shooting influenced people’s views of Biden, but the small number of poll interviews completed after the shooting provided no early indication that his prospects improved.
You forget that in the 2020 election no one thought we’d get the Senate and all of his campaign promises were made under the assumption that it would be a Republican majority Senate he’d have to get stuff thru.
That’s what Biden signed up for.
Having less Republicans in the Senate wouldn’t make that harder.
So unless your argument is Biden lied from day one, I don’t see how what you’re saying makes anything better.
Or why there’s any benefit to Biden over anyone else.
What point are you trying to make for why keeping Biden is a good idea?
And he still did quite well. I was preemptively responding to people who say Biden had a majority in Congress, that’s why I started with “And no,”
And I’m saying he accomplished a lot despite that. Not everyone is as successful, Obama screwed up a single payer even though he had super majority.
And yet, you don’t seem capable of naming three things that Biden accomplished that any Dem Pres wouldn’t have known.
Weird…
