A recent survey conducted by Lord Ashcroft, a former Conservative deputy chairman, suggests that the Democrats might want to reconsider having Joe Biden lead their party in the 2024 presidential race. The survey of over 10,000 registered American voters revealed that when pitted against a generic Democrat candidate, Biden falls behind. This poses a significant challenge for Democrats who aim to retain the White House.

It’s no secret that Joe Biden, at 81 years old, is facing some steep competition. The survey shows that despite him being at an equal standing with Trump in current popularity, the momentum seems to be favoring the former president. This should come as no surprise to Republicans, who have long viewed Trump as a strong contender for the next election.
The enthusiasm gap highlighted in the survey is a cause for concern for the Democrats. While Trump maintains a strong following and high enthusiasm among Republicans, Biden seems to lack the same level of fervor from his party members. This could spell trouble for Democrats who need their voters to be motivated and eager to show up at the polls.
It’s clear that Biden’s sluggish popularity and lack of enthusiasm among Democrats are worrying signs for the party. The survey’s data, while not set in stone, paints a concerning picture for the upcoming election. Democrats may need to seriously reconsider their strategy if they hope to secure a win in 2024.
Ultimately, it seems that Joe Biden’s presence on the Democratic ticket poses a challenge that the party cannot afford to ignore. With Trump gaining momentum and Republicans showing higher levels of enthusiasm, the road ahead for Democrats looks steep. It remains to be seen how the party will address this issue and whether they will make any significant changes to their lineup for the 2024 election.
