The numbers Joe Biden is currently receiving don’t resemble the previous two occasions when Democratic incumbents said, “You know what? It’s time for me to move on.
Enten made reference to former presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Harry Truman, who declined to seek reelection as incumbents.
Not “activists,” but the Democratic base, according to the polling expert, is the main force behind “pressure on their members of Congress, their governors, the elected officials, and party actors to try and get Biden to leave.”
He posted an overview of his analysis on X Wednesday.
“A big issue with getting Biden out?” penned Enten. “Democrats oppose Biden”.
Voters who have the power to sway their elected officials favor Biden’s reelection. The available facts do not support the theories of Truman (52) or Johnson (68). They have a striking resemblance to Bush (92), who lost by staying in.”
Ultimately, following his unimpressive debate performance on Thursday, Biden still has a long way to go before he can win back the trust of the public. According to a recent news poll, a sizable portion of Americans now question their mental health.
