WASHINGTON (AP) — A majority of Democrats now think one term is plenty for President Joe Biden, despite his insistence that he plans to seek reelection in 2024.
That’s according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research that shows just 37% of Democrats say they want him to seek a second term, down from 52% in the weeks before last year’s midterm elections.
While Biden has trumpeted his legislative victories and ability to govern, the poll suggests relatively few U.S. adults give him high marks on either.
Follow-up interviews with poll respondents suggest that many believe the 80-year-old’s age is a liability, with people focused on his coughing, his gait, his gaffes and the possibility that the world’s most stressful job would be better suited for someone younger.
“I, honestly, think that he would be too old,” said Sarah Overman, 37, a Democrat who works in education in Raleigh, North Carolina. “We could use someone younger in the office.”

Wasnt the most common plausible theory the DNC knew Bernie had no chance and Biden was pliable enough to do exactly as they needed. So they promised the progressive wing they would enact progressive legislation if the PW supported Biden.

Because they KNOW something most refuse to accept.

There's a set order to things. Oppose it and you will regret it. There is no power in numbers as long as the mumbers are fearful of consequences.
Thats why they make a mockery of philosophic and meditative practice, because if you do it long enough you begin to become fearless because you know that in the long run you really have nothing to lose and you will be ok even if you lose your high paid job.

What do potential Democrats KNOW that's keeping them from putting a campaign together and running right over weakling Joe?
With Joe Biden's job approval number at a dismal 37%
Jimmy Carter 34
George W. Bush 34
Donald Trump 34

The "Progressive" wing is ticked-off at Biden for not getting low-cost government healthcare for all Americans, and not paying off Student Loans, and for Giving Oil Companies the Green Light to kill lots of endangered birds while finding more oil to warm the atmosphere with, and for being against abortion, and other reasons.
