In a recent poll by ABC News, the Washington Post, and Ipsos, findings suggest that a majority of Joe Biden’s supporters are losing confidence in him. The survey revealed that 67 percent of Americans, including many of Biden’s own backers, think he should step down as the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee following a lackluster debate performance.
Despite calls for Biden to step aside, there is uncertainty among Democrat and Democrat-leaning voters about who should replace him. Only 29 percent chose Vice President Kamala Harris as their top pick, yet the survey indicated that “seven in ten Democrats” would be satisfied with Harris as the nominee. However, 53 percent of Americans overall would not be content with this choice.

The survey also highlighted concerns regarding the age and health of both Biden and former President Donald Trump. A significant portion, 58 percent, believes both candidates are “too old” for another term, with more doubts about Biden’s mental sharpness and physical health compared to Trump.
As Biden faces increased scrutiny over his health and well-being, he remains adamant about not dropping out of the presidential race. Despite calls to step down and questions about his health, Biden is determined to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
Biden is set to participate in a one-on-one interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, where public scrutiny surrounding his health and ability to serve as president will likely continue to intensify. It remains to be seen how Biden will navigate these challenges as the election approaches.
