Biden faces brutal poll showing nearly 70% of Americans want him to retire… revealing where he stands in race against Trump
- A new poll shows 67 percent of American adults are calling for Biden to resign
- Biden and Trump are tied at 46 percent.
President Joe Biden faced another shocking poll drop as he was scheduled to attend a crucial news conference, while more and more Democrats in Congress called on him to step back from his re-election campaign.
A majority of Democrats, 56 percent, want Biden to step aside and allow someone else to run in the election after his performance in the debate, a new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds.
Only 42 percent of members of his own party want him to stay, the poll found. Among U.S. adults overall, a staggering 67 percent want Biden to step aside, while just 30 percent want to continue his campaign.
Despite Biden’s dismal numbers, the poll shows the president tied with former President Donald Trump at 46 percent as Democrats in Congress weigh whether to push him to end his campaign.
In a poll question that also included Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Trump led Biden 43 percent to 42 percent.
A majority of Democrats want President Joe Biden to resign in a new poll, something a number of elected Democrats have now called for
Last week, a separate poll by DailyMail.com with JL Partners found that more than a third of Democrats wanted Biden to leave office, though direct comparisons are difficult. Fifty percent of likely voters overall wanted Biden to go.
The ABC/Washington Post poll conducted by Ipsos was conducted among registered voters, rather than screening for likely voters.
Another key issue that will surely grab the attention of Democrats is a head-to-head question pitting Vice President Kamala Harris against Trump. Harris leads Trump 49 to 47, though by an amount equal to the margin of error.
According to the poll, Biden is tied with former President Donald Trump
With Trump and Biden now tied, the poll gives Vice President Kamala Harris a 49-47 lead over Trump.
That follows a series of recent polls showing Trump widening his lead nationally and in key battleground states, amid concerns from members of Biden’s own party about his age and ability to campaign.
The White House has called what it calls a “major press conference” amid renewed scrutiny over the way it shielded him from questions and declined requests for personal interviews.
