Facts

• A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that just 37% of Democrats want Pres. Joe Biden to seek a second term, a drop from the 52% who said they supported him running again in a poll taken just after last year's midterms.
• Biden’s approval rating in this latest poll stood at 41% — similar to his approval at the end of 2022 — and it showed that a majority of Democrats approve of the president’s work. However, among all Americans, just 22% said he should run for re-election.
• Most of the decline in those supporting a Biden run in 2024 came among the younger demographic, with 49% of Democrats 45 and older saying he should run again, in contrast to just 23% of those under 45.
• A Washington Post-ABC News poll produced similar results, with 58% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents saying they’d like a different nominee in 2024. In addition, 62% of Americans say they would be “dissatisfied” or “angry” if Biden was re-elected in 2024.
• Despite the polling, a low approval rating, and an ongoing special investigation into his handling of classified documents, Biden’s appearance at the Democratic National Committee’s Winter Meeting over the weekend was met with chants of “four more years” from Democratic power brokers.
• Biden, who has said several times in the past year that he expects to run again, will have a chance to publicize his accomplishments and vision for the future of the US when he gives his State of the Union address on Tuesday. No announcement about a 2024 run is expected before that speech.
