Approximately 87 percent of voters back his decision, while only 9 percent oppose it, according to a survey of 1,142 registered voters conducted from July 22 to 24. Biden announced his exit from the presidential race on social media after a lackluster debate performance in June prompted several prominent Democrats, including Rep. Adam Schiff and reportedly Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, to encourage him to step down. The same poll revealed that 77 percent of voters felt either &#8220;satisfied&#8221; or &#8220;enthusiastic&#8221; about his announcement, although 56 percent expressed disapproval of his overall presidency. About half of those surveyed had voted for Biden in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Following the June debate with former President Donald Trump, a poll indicated that 72 percent of voters doubted Biden&#8217;s mental fitness for another term. A July poll conducted before his announcement showed that just over half of Americans believed he should withdraw from the race. In his withdrawal statement, Biden expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place in the race, despite her receiving minimal support in the Democratic primary. Subsequent polls indicated that many respondents felt Harris had a role in concealing Biden&#8217;s decline from the public eye. Throughout his presidency, Biden&#8217;s favorability ratings have remained low, consistently staying below 40 percent in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>In a New York Times\/Siena College poll conducted from July 22 to 24, Republican Donald Trump led Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris by 48% to 46%. Leading up to his decision to withdraw, Biden had been trailing Trump in various polls, with pollster Nate Silver estimating Trump at 42.7 percent and Biden at 39.7 percent nationally in July. Despite the polling data, Biden had maintained that he would continue his re-election campaign even until the week of his announcement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2309850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biden-dropout-poll.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[32431,36410,3620,5894,15698],"class_list":["post-2309846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-2024-election","tag-american-opinions","tag-biden","tag-politics","tag-polling"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biden-dropout-poll.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2309846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2309850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2309846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2309846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2309846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
