The 2022 midterms are looming, but polling for the 2024 election is already rattling Democrats. On July 11, the New York Times<\/em> published a poll<\/a>, in coordination with Siena College, of 849 registered voters and found that 64 percent of Democrats want a nominee other than President Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential election. When narrowed down to Democrats under 30, that percentage rose to 94 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of reasons, Biden, at 79, is already the oldest president in history, and his job performance polled neck and neck at 33 percent and 32 percent, respectively. Older voters were more likely to choose age as a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Democrats have suggested that a 2024 Biden run might be a mistake for the party\u2019s chances to stay in the White House. His age has repeatedly been cited given that if he were reelected, he would be 86 at the end of his presidency. A June 2022 survey<\/a> from Harvard\u2019s Center for American Political Studies and the Harris Poll found that 64 percent of voters thought Biden was showing \u201che is too old to be president.\u201d<\/a> White House officials have rebuffed such criticisms by pointing to the president\u2019s vigorous exercise routine and saying that he has \u201cremained intellectually engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One in 10 Democrats said Biden was not progressive enough, according to the poll<\/a>, conducted between July 5 and July 7, soon after the overturning of Roe v Wade<\/em>. In response to a Washington Post article<\/a> exploring the lack of progress made since the Supreme Court decision, the White House took a jab at pro-abortion \u201cactivists\u201d who are pushing the administration to take serious and expedient measures to protect abortion rights. White House communications director Kate Bedingfield told WaPo, \u201cThe president has been showing his deep outrage as an American and executing his bold plan, which is the product of months of hard work ever since this decision was handed down. Joe Biden\u2019s goal in responding to Dobbs is not to satisfy some activists who have been consistently out of step with the mainstream of the Democratic Party.\u201d The comments sparked criticism<\/a> from abortion-access advocates. On July 10, Biden told the press that critics should \u201ckeep protesting,\u201d<\/a> likely in a nod to the backlash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll this White House has for people who need abortions is empty promises and disrespect,\u201d Renee Bracey Sherman, executive director of We Testify, tweeted<\/a> in response to Bedingfield\u2019s comments. Interestingly, according to CNN<\/a>, post-Roe<\/em> outrage does seem to have translated to a very slight bump in the polls for the Democrats’ chances in the House and Senate for the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This newest poll arrives as Democrats have made themselves scarce<\/a> when it comes to openly considering primary competitors for 2024, fearful of a repeat of former president Jimmy Carter who won the primary but lost the general election for a second term in 1980. Possible names being floated are largely repeats of the 2020 Democratic primaries:<\/a> Vice President Kamala Harris, senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Cory Booker, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and current Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O\u2019Rourke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
