Analysis

Two years before the next U.S. presidential election, voters are signaling they want new blood atop the party tickets and not a rematch of the 2020 election. 

The sentiment comes as President Joe Biden has seen sagging approval ratings and former President Donald Trump faces potential criminal charges for the Jan. 6 Capitol Riots. Recent polling shows voter fatigue for both candidates, who are both considered leading contenders in 2024.

A New York Times/Siena College poll found that Republicans were nearly split on whether they wanted to see Trump return as their party's standard-bearer. About 49% said they would support him against 47% who indicated support for another candidate. Among other possible options, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fared the best after Trump with nearly 25% support and higher numbers among college-educated and younger Republicans compared to Trump.

Biden did not fare much better within his own party. On Monday, the New York Times reported that 64% of Democrats would prefer to see another candidate over Biden in 2024. Support among the core groups that make up the Democratic base has crumbled, particularly among younger voters. Biden still performing relatively well with Black Americans, but his approval ratings overall remained around 38%, according to an average of polls from the FiveThirtyEight blog.
