A poll carried out by The New York Times/Siena College has revealed that 64 per cent of Democrats would prefer a different candidate in the next presidential election. 

Twenty-six per cent of Democrats maintained that they would still support President Joe Biden in the next presidential election. 

Mr Biden had said that he intends to run for re-election in 2024. The 79-year-old is already America’s oldest president. 94 per cent of Democrat respondents clamouring for a different presidential candidate were noted to be under the age of 30. 

Factors that have affected the responses in the poll include the state of America’s economy, with over 75 per cent of respondents saying the economy was “extremely important” to them.

Of the respondents between 18 to 64 years old, only six per cent said the economy was good or excellent, while 93 per cent rated it poor or only fair.

Forty-four per cent of the respondents said they would cast their vote for Mr Biden if the 2024 presidential elections were held today, while 41 per cent of respondents said they would vote for former President Trump if he is a 2024 presidential candidate. 

The Times/Siena survey included 849 registered voters nationwide and was conducted from July 5 to 7, after the Supreme Court’s overturned landmark reproductive rights case Roe v. Wade.
