An overwhelming majority of American voters don’t want Joe Biden to run for re-election in 2024, according to a recent Harvard CAPS-Harris poll.
71% of Americans surveyed said they do not want Biden to seek a second term, and 29% indicated he should. Among those who opposed Biden’s second term, 45% said he should not make a second bid because “he’s a bad president,” 30% said Biden, who is about to turn 80 this year, is “too old” and 26% said, “it’s time for a change.” Additionally, 60% of voters have doubts about Biden’s mental fitness for office. The poll was conducted from June 28-29, 2022 among 1,308 registered U.S. voters. The Harris Poll and Harvard University’s Center for American Political Studies collaborated to conduct the poll.
