CNN Poll: Most voters think Democrats have a better chance of keeping White House if Biden isn’t the nominee | CNN Politics

Three-quarters of US voters say the Democratic Party would have a better shot at holding the presidency in 2024 with someone other than President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. His approval rating also has hit a new low following a shaky performance in the first debate of this year’s presidential campaign.

      100% true and why I was so against Biden and the DNC letting CNN run the debate…

      Biden supporters told me I was wrong then, now they tend to agree

      But a poll is a poll and this one seems fine:

      The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS from June 28-30 among a random national sample of 1,274 adults drawn from a probability-based panel, including 1,045 registered voters. Surveys were conducted either online or by telephone with a live interviewer. Results among the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. For results among registered voters, it is plus or minus 3.7 points.

      Unless this like when trumpets and Hillary supporters started claiming polls don’t matter…

      Hillary supporters said it in 2016, and polls were right and it was a coin toss…

      Trumpets said it in 2020, and polls were right and trump lost…

      Which is why I’m so concerned Biden supporters are saying it in 2024.

      And I don’t understand why if CNN should never be trusted, Biden and the DNC handing them the keys to the debates isn’t a mark against Biden and the DNC and the type of decisions they’re making…

    His approval rating has dropped even more:

    Among the full US public, Biden’s favorability rating stands at just 34%, with 58% viewing him unfavorably. And while many of the Democratic names bandied about as possible replacements for Biden are less widely disliked, none would start with more public goodwill – instead, they are less well known. Harris has the widest recognition – and is also deeply underwater, with a 29% favorability rating, 49% rating her unfavorably, and 22% saying they have no opinion or haven’t heard of her. Roughly half of the public has no opinion on Buttigieg (50%) and Newsom (48%), with about two-thirds (69%) offering no opinion of Whitmer.

    Whitimer is looking like the best bet that the DNC would support, and since her kidnapping attempt, shed at least take the threat of fascism seriously.

    Here’s Trump’s numbers to compare:

    The events of the past several months have done little to shift Trump’s image either way. Since April, Trump has been found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records at his New York hush money trial and had a debate performance widely viewed as a win (76% of voters who watched or followed news about it say he did the better job in last week’s debate, while only 23% say Biden did). But his favorability rating remains deeply negative: 39% have a favorable view of Trump and 54% an unfavorable one, about the same as it has been since last fall. The pool of double-hater voters – those with unfavorable views of both Biden and Trump – remains about the same: 18% fall into that category, and they break in Trump’s favor, 41% to 31%.
