Forty-one percent of Democrat voters want President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, a Monday USA Today/Suffolk University poll found, while only 51 percent want him to remain on the ticket.
The poll represents one of the first post-debate polls that Democrat operatives and donors will study to determine the total damage to Biden’s candidacy following his debate performance.
By a five-to-one ratio, the poll found former President Donald Trump won the exchange. Only 28 percent of Biden supporters said he won. Only 24 percent of Democrats said the debate increased their support for Biden, while nine percent said it made them want to support a third party candidate. Sixty-four percent of independents, meanwhile, want Biden replaced on the ballot.
When asked about the impact of the debate, 26 percent of independents said it made them more likely to support Trump, nine percent Biden, and 17 percent said it made them more likely to vote for a third-party candidate.
USA Today reported how voters described their worries about Biden’s debate performance:
Those with concerns about Biden used words like “confused” and “incoherent.” They overwhelmingly said Trump won.
Others used words like “coherent/articulate” and “cognizant/present” as the reason they were supporting the 78-year-old former president.
Among those who said Biden won, the top reasons cited focused not on his performance but on his character, saying he was “truthful/honest” and that Trump had “lied” in his responses.
The poll sampled 1,000 registered voters from Friday to Sunday with a 3.1 percentage points margin of error...
