Politico“More voters than ever before have an unfavorable opinion of the president, believe he is too old for office and want someone else to take the lead in the Democratic nomination race this fall.”
“Not since George H.W. Bush more than three decades ago has a sitting president’s approval rating been this low at this stage of an election. And with the exception of Biden’s 2024 opponent, former President Donald Trump, not since Jimmy Carter ran for reelection 44 years ago has a sitting president trailed so far in approval ratings.”
“The latest numbers have increased pressure on Biden to make a quick comeback or withdraw from the race before the party formally nominates a candidate. A series of rigorous but quick polls have shown a post-debate drop in support for Biden, who was already struggling to break away from Trump. Three polls, including one from The New York Times/Siena College released Wednesday afternoon, show Trump holding a 6-point lead among likely voters.”
“Given Republican advantages in the Electoral College, such a margin nationally would likely lead to a decisive victory for Trump.”
