A recent poll showing President Biden trailing former President Trump in the 2024 presidential race has led to calls for Biden to drop out of the race. David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Obama, suggested that Biden should reconsider his decision to run in light of the poll results. Axelrod highlighted the uncertainty of the coming year and expressed concern that Biden’s low poll numbers would create doubt within the Democratic Party. While Axelrod acknowledged that Trump’s behavior should be disqualifying, he emphasized the potential consequences of miscalculating the race. Ultimately, Axelrod stated that the decision to continue running rests with Biden himself, and he needs to consider whether it is in his best interest and the country’s. The poll, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, revealed that Biden is trailing Trump in five out of six battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Only in Wisconsin is Biden leading by a small margin. This is a significant blow to Biden’s campaign, as he won all six states in the 2020 election against Trump. The poll also highlighted concerns about Biden’s age and policy actions, particularly regarding the economy. A majority of registered voters expressed doubts about Biden’s effectiveness as president due to his age, while fewer had the same concerns about Trump. Biden, who is currently the oldest U.S. president in history at 80 years old, has faced ongoing criticism about his age. Axelrod noted that Biden’s age is his biggest liability and something he cannot change. Several Democrats have joined the chorus of voices suggesting that Biden’s age makes him unfit for reelection. However, Biden has defended his ability to perform the job and believes voters should judge him based on his performance rather than his age. The poll was conducted among registered voters in five states and had a margin of sampling error between 4.4 and 4.8 percentage points.
