"Neither Biden nor Trump... Don't Run in the Next Presidential Election"

CNN US Voter Poll

Majority of Democratic Supporters Prefer Other Candidates
49% of Republicans "Do Not Support Trump"

[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Half of the U.S. Democratic and Republican supporters do not prefer President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, respectively, as the 2024 presidential candidates.

CNN announced the results of a poll conducted by the polling agency SSRS from May 10 to June 6, surveying 1,527 adults.

Fifty-one percent of Democratic supporters and Democratic-leaning independents responded that they prefer a candidate other than President Biden.

Forty-five percent said they want President Biden to seek re-election. Among them, a significant portion were people of color (55%), those aged 45 and older (52%), and voters without a college degree (51%).

Among Republican supporters and Republican-leaning independents, 49% said they want a different candidate.

Fifty percent expressed hope for former President Trump’s renomination. Among them, many believed that President Biden won the 2020 election through election fraud (64%) or were voters without a college degree (60%).

A majority of Republican supporters (54%) preferred former President Trump, but among independents, only 38% said Trump should be the candidate, and among Republican-leaning voters, only 38% agreed.

This poll result differs from previous years. In a March 2018 poll, about a year after former President Trump’s inauguration, 77% of Republican-leaning voters wanted Trump to be renominated as the Republican candidate for the next presidential election.

In a March 2010 poll conducted about a year into former President Barack Obama’s term, 79% of Democratic-leaning voters hoped Obama would be renominated as the Democratic candidate.

CNN explained, "It is not that voters do not want the two former and current presidents, but rather concerns about their electability."

Among Democratic supporters who do not want President Biden’s renomination, the most common reason was "thinking he cannot win the election" (35%). This was followed by "not wanting President Biden to serve another term" (31%), "due to his age" (19%), "other reasons" (9%), and "wanting a better candidate" (4%).

Among Republican supporters who do not want former President Trump to run, the most common reason was "not wanting him to be president" (39%). This was followed by "thinking he cannot win the election" (22%), "need for a new figure" (9%), "other reasons" (8%), and "causing excessive polarization and division" (7%).

However, most voters do not have a specific candidate in mind other than the two former and current presidents. Only 12% of Democratic supporters and 19% of Republican supporters answered "yes" to the question "Are you specifically thinking about who will run as the next presidential candidate?"
