Biden's BRUTAL poll numbers as he announces his White House bid: 70% of Americans DON'T want him to run and a dwindling number of Democrats have his back

• e-mail

President Joe Biden is going into his fourth presidential run with brutal opinion polls showing the majority of Americans, including Democrats, don't want him to run again.

The 80-year-old's approval ratings have struggled to get above 40 percent since he came into office and have sometimes dropped below 30.

Voters have given him poor performance ratings and distrust his ability to deal with their most important issues such as the economy.

But he has decided that he still has enough support to win a second bid against whoever will end up as the Republican nominee.

More than half of Democrats don't want Biden to run for reelection and a massive seven in 10 Americans overall claim he shouldn't seek a second term.

A whopping 70% of Americans do not want Joe Biden to run for reelection in 2024, a poll released just days before his announcement reveals

In the poll, 51% of Democrats also said they didn't want to see another run from the incumbent president

Biden has maintained that he plans to complete two terms in office with Vice President Kamala Harris as his No. 2 – and he made good on that promise with his announcement on Tuesday.

But most Americans don't want to see the octogenarian president run in 2024, claiming that his age is a 'major' reason why they don't want another four years from Biden, according to a NBC News poll released Sunday.

Meanwhile, 21 percent of respondents claim that age is at least a 'minor' factor in why they don't want to see him run again.

'The president needs to reflect the age group in the country. They should both retire,' said one Democratic poll respondent from Washington state when referring to Biden and Republican Donald Trump, 76.

They added: 'It is someone else's turn.'

Biden is already the oldest president elected in U.S. history, and would be 82-years-old at the time of inauguration if elected for a second term.

Only six percent of Americans want to see a rematch of 2020 between Trump and Biden in 2024.

A separate poll from the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School shows that Biden's approval among young Americans has dropped by five points over the last year.

Of registered voters aged 18 through 29, only 36 percent approve of Biden's performance as president, according to the national poll released on Monday. This is compared to the 41 percent approval in this demographic that the president earned last spring – and a three-point decline since the fall.

The poll was conducted March 13 -22 and surveyed 2,069 young Americans.

It appears the rise in crime and violence is severely impacting Biden's approval in this younger demographic, with only 27 percent of the country's youngest voters saying they approve of the president's handling of gun safety and nearly half saying they have felt unsafe within the last month.

If Biden is put up against the eventual Republican nominee in the NBC poll, the president is shown losing.

Of registered voters polled, 41 percent said they would either definitely or probably vote for Biden, compared to the 47 percent who said they would vote for whoever becomes the GOP nominee.

The same question posed to just Democrats unsurprisingly showed 88 percent of this voting bloc saying they would 'definitely' or 'probably' vote for Biden. But only 22 percent of independent voters said the same and three percent of Republicans.

While 70 percent of Americans don't think Biden should run again, 60 percent of Americans feel the same way about a third consecutive White House bid from former President Trump.

A third of Republicans say they don't want him to run in 2024 – although Trump already announced in mid-November his candidacy in the Republican primary.

Meanwhile, the same poll shows that just a measly 6% of Americans want to see a rematch between Trump and Joe Biden in 2024

Other announced GOP candidates are former South Carolina Gov. and once-Trump's Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and long shot candidates – biotech multi-millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy and conservative radio host Larry Elder.

Several individuals hinted at or are rumored to be considering a White House bid.

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott launched a presidential exploratory committee earlier this month and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is traversing the country and flirting with an announcement under the guise of a book tour.

Other could-be candidates are former Vice President Mike Pence, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.

Although Biden is likely to be the Democratic Party's nominee, there are some long shot candidates vying to oust the incumbent president.

Author and Democratic advocate Marianne Williamson and lawyer and anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have announced bids for the Democratic nomination in 2024.
