The CNN poll also asked voters about potential replacements for Biden. Harris fared the best, trailing Trump by only two points, 47 percent to 45 percent, within the margin of error.

Several other prominent Democrats outperformed Biden in polling, including Govs. Gavin Newsom (Calif.) and Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.), as well as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The Biden campaign has quickly shut down any notion that the president would leave the 2024 race.

    A majority of Democrats and left-leaning independents, 56 percent, said the party is more likely to win in November without Biden, according to the poll.

    So the other 19% are Republicans who know this would guarantee a Democratic loss? lmao

    Replacing Biden is suicide at this point.

      I think you’re misreading statistics… if 75% of voters think Biden is an impairment and only 56% of left leaning voters think Biden is an impairment then, assuming they equally sampled right and left leaning voters, that means nearly all conservatives think Biden is an impairment.

        You’re right. That’s even worse. If ~100% of Republicans want him gone, that’s all the more reason to keep him aboard.

          I don’t know if I fully agree with that - I assume GOPers hold that belief mostly for the wrong reasons (probably some BS about “Biden crime family”). But the majority of liberals think it’s a bad idea to keep him on, and we should have a discussion about that.
