See Joe Run? Poll Shows Historical Number Of Americans (Dems Included) Don't Actually Want To See That

Over 70% of voters, mostly who identify as Independent & Demcorat do not want President Joe Biden to run for a second term, according to a new poll.

Just 29% of voters would back a reelection bid for Biden, whose approval ratings have been slipping in recent months, and 71% would discourage a run for a second term, an uptick from the 64% of adults who said Biden shouldn't run again in a mid-June poll conducted by YouGov and Yahoo.

“President Biden may want to run again but the voters say ‘no’ to the idea of a second term, panning the job he is doing as president. Only 30 percent of Democrats would even vote for him in a Democratic presidential primary,” Mark Penn, co-director of the poll, told the Hill.

As if voters needed another reason to hit the polls this fall for the congressional midterm elections, the Supreme Court on Thursday gave an opinion backing President Joe Biden’s open-border agenda, a measure that should drive turnout even higher.

Already hot over gas prices, inflation, abortion, and guns, the addition of immigration could raise voter turnout in an election Republicans have held an advantage in for months.
