President Biden’s support continues to plummet, even among members of his own party. 

More and more Democrats say they’d like to see someone else as their nominee in 2024, but the president insists he will seek re-election and is said to resent suggestions that he step aside.

New surveys, including one today from the New York Times, show that this president is even less popular than Donald Trump was, with his approval rating down to the low 30s. 64% of Democrats say their party should nominate someone else for president in 2024. The good news for Joe Biden is that he still beats Trump head-to-head, 44-41% in that Times poll, so his best bet may be that the Republicans nominate Trump again in 2024. Even in deep blue California, President Biden’s approval rating has fallen sharply, and there’s open speculation about replacing him on the ticket with everyone from Kamala Harris to Gavin Newsom to Pete Buttigieg to yes, Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama.
