The polling firm OpenLabs reported that 40% of\u2063 voters who supported Biden in 2020 now think he should withdraw from this year&#8217;s race. The memo \u200dindicated that Biden&#8217;s support in swing states has taken \u200da \u2063hit, with him trailing in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia,\u2063 Arizona, and Nevada. There is growing concern among Democrats about Biden&#8217;s performance, with some even calling for him to withdraw \u200dfrom the race.

An OpenLabs poll in May had that number at only 25 percent, according to Hamby.<\/p>\n<p>Hamby offered a caveat about the results but also noted that OpenLabs carries weight among Democratic strategists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is, of course, only a single poll, conducted during the initial aftershocks of the debate. It will take a few weeks to determine if Biden\u2019s slippage in the polls is a trend and not a blip,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBut given their reputation inside the party and connections to Future Forward, OpenLabs is a firm that Democratic campaigns take seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The poll found Biden\u2019s support in the swing states that will decide the November election badly dented by the debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/if-free-speech-depends-on-which-oligarchs-are-in-control-the-country-is-doomed\/\" title=\"If Free Speech Depends On Which Oligarchs Are In Control, The Country Is Doomed\">tipping-point state<\/a> of Pennsylvania, Biden now trails by 7 points, compared to 5 points before the debate,\u201d Hamby wrote. \u201cHe has also dropped in Michigan, where he now trails Trump by 7. OpenLabs also found that he is now losing by roughly 10 points in Georgia and Arizona, and by almost 9 points in Nevada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By itself, that points to disaster for Democrats, but data Hamby reported about states that might have been thought to be safely in the blue column should have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jill-biden-appears-vogue-cover-alongside-tone-deaf-quote-imaginable-amid-turmoil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">even Jill Biden<\/a> paying attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden is now only winning by a fraction of a point in Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, and New Mexico \u2014 and he\u2019s now only winning Colorado by around 2 points,\u201d Hamby wrote.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBiden is now only winning by a fraction of a point in Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, and New Mexico\u201d \u2014 actually, it looks like the OpenLabs poll has Biden DOWN by a fraction of a point in NM and VA. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeterHamby?\">@PeterHamby<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jjhDY2cHQz\">pic.twitter.com\/jjhDY2cHQz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jared Walczak (@JaredWalczak) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JaredWalczak\/status\/1808219335271313629?\">July 2, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>All of that is likely to only increase the clamor among some Democrats to find a way to get Biden to withdraw from the race and for the party to find a new standard-bearer to battle the presumptive GOP nominee, former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In the immediate aftermath of Thursday\u2019s debate, even the reliably left-leaning talking heads on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-cnns-van-jones-drops-biden-wants-race-debate-failure-didnt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/msnbcs-scarborough-rips-dems-for-disastrous-debate-my-only-hope-is-people-were-not-watching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSNBC<\/a> were rattled by Biden\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>In the days since, even the most left-leaning establishment media outlets have been forced to cover Democratic unease about the president going into November.<\/p>\n<p>And Tuesday, Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett became the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/first-congressional-democrat-officially-jumps-ship-biden-not-done-lightly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first congressional Democrat<\/a> to declare that Biden should follow the example set by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968 and withdraw from the race.<\/p>\n<p>Texas is solidly red, of course, and Doggett\u2019s words weren\u2019t likely to change anything about the outcome in the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n<p>But Virginia, Maine, Minnesota and New Mexico are a different story. For Democrats, losing in those states would be like reliving the nightmare of Republican Ronald Reagan\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.270towin.com\/1984_Election\/interactive_map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">49-state landslide<\/a> in 1984. (For most American voters, clearly, that wasn\u2019t a nightmare at all.)<\/p>\n<p>If those states are as competitive as the leaked memo indicates, for Biden\u2019s team and Democrats in general, there is nothing good about that.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>I heard a chilling comment the other day: \u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>That wasn\u2019t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet.
