Support for Biden running again plummets among N.H. Democrats, poll finds

Only one-fifth of New Hampshire voters want President Biden to seek another term and Democrats are just as likely to support Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as Mr. Biden in a hypothetical 2024 primary, a new poll says.

The University of New Hampshire poll released Tuesday shows that support for Mr. Biden running again is plummeting fast among members of his own party. Only 31% of Democrats want him to run again, down from 54% in June and 74% in July.

“President Biden is increasingly seen as an electoral liability for Democrats, both in the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election,” said Andrew Smith, director of the UNH Survey Center.
