Biden’s weak spots in the race for the nomination are concentrated among independents who lean Democratic and younger voters.
US President Joe Biden’s bid for a second term begins with a wide advantage over his declared opponents for the Democratic nomination, but he faces headwinds among the overall public from declining favorability and a widespread view that his reelection would be more negative than positive for the country, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
Biden’s primary supporters are largely locked in: 58% say they would definitely support him and 42% say that they could change their minds. In contrast, those backing other candidates are far from committed, with just 19% in that group saying they definitely will support their first-choice candidate and 81% saying that they could change their minds.
Biden’s weak spots in the race for the nomination are concentrated among independents who lean Democratic and younger voters . Nearly 3 in 10 who say they would consider Williamson say they don’t know enough about her , 16% say they’d consider her because she’s a Democrat, 8% that they’d consider any candidate or are open-minded, and 9% say that they see her as an alternative to Biden. One said, “She is better than Joe Biden. I haven’t heard of her though.” Another 10% point to the desire for a female candidate, and 12% say they support her views or policies.
The broader negativity toward Biden stems from a more pessimistic assessment among his own partisans than Trump faces, while strong opposition across the aisle is about even for both of them. More than 8 in 10 Democrats say a Trump win would be a disaster while a near-identical share of Republicans say a Biden win would be a disaster . But Republicans are more likely to call a Trump win a triumph or a step forward than Democrats are to say the same about Biden .
