Poll: Majority of Voters Want Biden Replaced as Candidate After Debate

A majority of voters — 60% — say President Biden should “definitely” or “probably” be replaced as the Democratic candidate following his performance in Thursday’s debate, per a Morning Consult poll released to Axios Friday.

Findings from the poll of 2,068 respondents echoed whispers from Democrats about the prospect of replacing Biden as the Democratic presidential candidate.

Of Democratic voters, 21% say Biden should “definitely not” be replaced, and 20% say “probably not.”

When the survey asked respondents to choose between Biden and former President Trump, 45% chose the president and 44% chose the former commander-in-chief.

The results were similar to those from a poll following Trump’s criminal conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records linked to a $130,000 hush money payment.

That shows “President Joe Biden has lost no immediate ground to Trump,” per Morning Consult’s findings.

Still, most respondents—57%, of those who viewed the debate—said Trump outperformed Biden.

That includes 19% of Democrats, 60% of Independents and 93% of Republicans.

Biden campaign spokesperson Seth Schuster criticized the framing of the poll results, which still has Biden leading Trump by a point, and said “Joe Biden is not dropping out.”

Data from the polls conducted through online interviews were weighted to approximate a target sample of registered voters, per Morning Consult.

The margin of error was +/- 2 percentage points.

    Obama and CNN gang, mutually organised a debate in CNN to replace Biden with a younger gay Demoncrap….. They kept Biden standing on his own feet for 90 minutes, whereas CNN moderators were sitting comfortably on their thrones… That was CNN’s inferiority complex that they are above the POTUS………
