AP-NORC Poll Reveals Limited Enthusiasm for Potential Biden-Trump 2024 Election

The AP-NORC poll indicates a general lack of enthusiasm among US adults for a possible 2024 presidential election rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The poll shows that more Republicans are satisfied with Trump as their nominee compared to Democrats with Biden. However, overall, there is a significant portion of the population that is dissatisfied with both potential candidates.

Among Democrats, about half would be satisfied if Biden becomes the party’s 2024 nominee, but about one-third would be dissatisfied. For the Republicans, two-thirds would be satisfied with Trump as the nominee. However, a similar majority of U.S. adults express dissatisfaction with both Biden and Trump as potential nominees, regardless of party affiliation.

Yes, some voters, like Deborah Brophy, an independent who initially supported Biden, have expressed concerns about Biden’s health and focus on international conflicts over domestic issues. There are also reservations about Trump, with some voters turned off by his attitude and questioning his inclusivity.

For both Democrats and Republicans, having a candidate who can win the election is slightly more important than having a candidate who represents the views of most people in the party or the voters themselves. This indicates a strategic approach to the election rather than purely ideological considerations.

The poll shows that neither Biden nor Trump is viewed favorably by a majority of the U.S. public, with 42% having a favorable view of Biden and 36% for Trump. Within their respective parties, about three-quarters of Democrats view Biden favorably, and about 7 in 10 Republicans view Trump favorably.
