Twenty per cent say they are unsure.
Half of Republicans, however, said former President Donald Trump has a better chance of winning in 2024 than any other GOP candidate on the ticket.
Another 35 per cent said they think someone else would have a better shot at winning the White House in 2024 than Trump and 14 per cent of Republicans and right-leaning voters said they are unsure.
President Joe Biden is losing confidence among Democratic voters as 44% said in a poll released Monday that the party has a better chance of winning the presidential election in 2024 with someone else at the top of the ticket
In the poll, 36% of Democratic voters say the party have a better shot of winning the White House if Biden goes for a second term in 2024
Trump has not said whether he is running again in 2024, but has given strong indications that he will announce after the 2022 midterms. Either way, more Democrats and left-leaning voters think a different candidate has a better shot of edging out a Republican competitor than Biden.
Biden said during his 2020 campaign that he wasn’t running just to serve for one term.
The president’s approval rating is dropping as Democrats prepare for the 2022 midterms, where they will try to retain their slim margins of control of the House and Senate – and possibly increase their majorities.
According to the new poll, Biden’s approval rating is 44 per cent and disapproval is at 49 per cent – a further slip from the October Marist poll where he was at 45 per cent approval and 46 per cent disapproval.
A few sites that show Biden’s average approval rating based on several national polls, the president had higher approval than disapproval in the first seven months of his presidency, but that changed in August when several different issues started plaguing his administration.
The FiveThirtyEight average currently shows Biden, as of Monday, at 43.2 per cent approval to 51.1 per cent disapproval – he first crossed the 50 per cent disapproval rate on October 20.
The Virginia gubernatorial race on Tuesday could be a big indicator of whether Democrats increase or decrease their confidence in
In the last few days, Republican contender Glenn Youngkin, who is backed by Trump, has started pulling ahead of Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who is backed by Biden.
Biden campaigned last month for McAuliffe, a former governor of Virginia, and on Monday evening, Trump will hold a tele-rally for Youngkin, which the candidate said Friday he will not be attending.
In the generic contest for the congressional midterms, 44 per cent of registered voters said, according to the poll taken October 18-22, that they will vote for a Democratic candidate in their district.
That’s just a 3 per cent split with 41 per cent of voters saying they would choose a Republican in upcoming congressional contests.
In the same poll from September, Democrats had an 8 percentage point lead – 46-38 per cent.
When voters were asked if they would trust the outcome of the 2022 congressional elections if their candidate did not win, 71 per cent said they would.
There is a much lower acceptance among Republicans, who have increasing skepticism about U.S. elections in part due to Trump’s repeated claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen by Democrats.
Eighty-eight per cent of Democrats said they would accept the results, 77 per cent of independents feel the same and just over half – 53 per cent – of Republicans are on the same page.
