In another worrying indicator for Biden, over half of Democrats believe it is still possible for the 81-year-old to be replaced as his party's nominee.

According to a new DailyMail/J.L Partners poll, six in ten people, including almost one-third of Democrats, believe Joe Biden should not run for president in 2024.

In another worrying indicator for Biden, over half of Democrats believe it is still possible for the 81-year-old to be replaced as his party's nominee.

Sixty percent believe Biden should not run for re-election, 34% believe he should, and 6% have no view.

The results are preceded by a poll released on Tuesday that revealed Biden is trailing behind former President Donald Trump despite the latter's legal trouble as he fights a slew of court lawsuits.

An appeals court in Colorado on December 20 ruled that Donald Trump cannot appear on the state's presidential primary ballot because of his involvement in the attack on the Capitol in January 2021.

Despite that, Trump is ahead of Biden by four points in the most recent Dailymail.com/J.L. Partners survey.

Most alarming is that 29% of Democrats believe Biden should not run, while 64% believe he should.

According to the poll, the results for male and female voters were nearly equal.

It revealed that Biden's popularity has plummeted among young voters, with 68% of those under 30 expressing he should not run again.

Over half of voters in every age group felt he should withdraw from the contest. Majorities of college grads and non-graduates agreed as well.

Biden was losing support among his Democratic base, with 59 percent of Hispanic voters and 49% of black voters saying he should not be nominated.

Furthermore, 65% of independent voters believe the president should not run for reelection, while only 26% believe he should.

In addition, 44% of Democrats believe it is not too late to drop Biden, 42% believe it is, while 71% of Republicans believe it is not too late. 

A majority of white, Hispanic, and Black voters all believed it was not too late to find another nominee for the Democratic party.

Scarlett Maguire, Director of J.L. Partners pollsters, expressed that voters are having "serious doubts" regarding Biden's capabilities for another presidential campaign, adding that "an astonishing 6 in 10 say Biden should not run for office in the next year. "

Attitudes based on Biden weakness

Maguire believes this is a clear indication of concern regarding his age and his time in office, noting that he seemed more attributed to friendliness but less likely to "get things done."

James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners, believes that although voters may believe Trump is guilty, "his record in his first term means he is still attracting support."

Johnson added that he believes Trump's lead "is more because of Biden weakness than Trump strength."

Johnson added that "the takeaway from this has to be that, come the election, the race will be tighter. As we end 2023, both candidates have it all to play for."

US Supreme Court rejects fast-tracking Trump immunity before trial

The request by special counsel Jack Smith to fast-track considering former US President Trump's immunity from prosecution in the federal 2020 election interference case was recently rejected by the Supreme Court.

This move increases the possibility of his federal 2020 election trial stretching beyond the scheduled March 4 date, as the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will now consider the immunity question, and oral arguments are due to begin on January 9.

In a request earlier this month, Smith asked the high court to decide as fast as possible if Trump is "absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office," according to the filing.

Trump's legal team requested a stay on proceedings following a rejection by US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the case, for arguments that he had immunity from the indictment.
