CNN Gives Devastating News About Joe Biden on Live TV

New polling casts serious doubts on the prospects of President Joe Biden's re-election. Only a third of Americans say the Democrat deserves a second term in the White House -- with some of Biden's core constituencies having soured on his job performance. A whopping 67% of poll respondents say Biden, who is 80 years old, doesn't deserve re-election in 2024, answering the question in a CNN poll released Thursday. CNN's John King was frank in discussing the lack of an appetite for a second Biden term. "The numbers are beyond sobering for President Biden," King said in a segment with the liberal network's David Chalian. CNN POLL: Less than one third of Americans say Biden deserves to be reelected.

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 6, 2023 Only 26% of Americans under the age of 35 say Biden deserves a second term -- dismal numbers among a demographic that Democrats have relied on for election turnout. Even most Democrats want to see their party select an alternate nominee. A majority of Democrats or Democrat-leaning independents, 54%, want someone other than Biden , according to the poll. However, members of the party can't seem to come up with a possible alternative to the career politician. No other Democrat merited the support of more than 5% of Democratic voters in the poll, potentially leaving the party stuck with its incumbent president. If Biden were to secure re-election, he'd increase his lead for the record of the oldest president in American history -- by far. Biden was sworn in at the age of 78 -- older than his oldest predecessor, Ronald Reagan, was when Reagan left office at age 77 in 1989. Biden is yet to firmly commit to the prospect of a re-election bid -- although he's signaled his willingness and general intent to run. ABC's Jonathan Karl suggests it might be "better for [Biden] not to be running re-election."

The CNN poll was conducted from March 1-31 among a random sample nationally of 1,595 adults, with a sampling error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
