Rumors are rampant online and elsewhere that Democrats are itching to replace Joe Biden. We’re not talking about a sinister back-alley plot, but given his latest poll numbers, they might be seriously contemplating it.
Although he is the presumptive nominee, Mr Biden’s candidacy is not guaranteed until he wins the support of a majority of party delegates to its convention. Most delegates are political activists, local party leaders and the like, pledged to support a particular candidate; the number allocated to each candidate is determined through primary elections and caucuses. The rest are made up of the Democratic Party establishment. Primary season begins with New Hampshire, on January 23rd, and runs until early June. In August delegates will gather at the Democratic convention in Chicago to cast votes on behalf of their state or territory.
According to these new abysmal numbers, it seems clear that Democrats have no choice but to knock Biden off the 2024 ticket. The recent numbers are startling. Joe Biden’s approval rating has plummeted to a humiliating 33 percent. Frankly, considering the shape of the country, that number seems surprisingly generous.
President Biden’s job approval rating has plunged to a measly 33%, according to a Pew Research Center poll released Thursday
The dismal rating is the lowest that Pew Research has measured since Biden, 81, took office and represents a 2 point drop since the organization’s last approval survey in June.
The president’s approval rating among registered Republicans and those that lean Republican stayed level at 7%, while his support among Democrats tumbled 4 points from June, to 61%.
The pollster notes that Biden’s job rating among Democrats has fallen 12 points since October 2022 and is “relatively low among most major demographic groups.”
Only about half of black Americans, 52%, say they approve of Biden’s job in the oval office.
Meanwhile, Trump leads Biden in every swing state poll coming from Bloomberg.
Democrats’ relentless persecution of former President Donald Trump has backfired. And as their failures have multiplied, their narrative has crumbled.
On Thursday, Bloomberg reported the results of its latest swing-state poll, its third in the last three months.
In short, the news has grown progressively worse for President Joe Biden. This latest poll of 4,935 registered voters, conducted online Nov. 27 to Dec. 6, showed Trump leading Biden in all seven presumptive swing states likely to decide the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
Trump, in fact, polled 5 points ahead of Biden on average. The former president led by 2 in Pennsylvania; 3 in Nevada; 4 in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin; 6 in Georgia and 9 in North Carolina.
Aside from North Carolina, the certified results had Trump losing all of those states in the 2020 presidential election.
The dilemma for Democrats wanting to sideline Biden is that he’s stubborn, arrogant, and unwilling to step aside for the party or the country. Replacing him seems nearly impossible unless he voluntarily steps down. Biden holds the full support of the DNC’s financial machine and most donors. Anyone attempting to replace him would face financial hurdles, among other things. The only feasible scenarios for a Biden-less 2024 might involve a scandal, impeachment, or some behind-the-scenes deal to encourage him to walk away.
Otherwise, Biden’s dwindling poll numbers could spell disaster for the Democrats in 2024. Regardless of the number of mail-in ballots they manage to print, nobody’s buying that 81 million number this time around.
