CNN Poll: 46% of Voters Would Prefer Any Republican Over Biden in '24
Summary from the AllSides News Team
A CNN (Lean Left bias) poll released Thursday suggests voters are broadly concerned about President Joe Biden's age, and would prefer if he didn't run for reelection in 2024.
The Details: Of the roughly 1,500 people polled, 49% said Biden's age was their top concern. Among likely Democratic voters, 67% want the party to nominate someone other than Biden; that figure was up from 54% in March, but down from the high of 75% last summer. And among all registered voters, 46% would prefer any Republican presidential nominee to Biden.
For Context: The poll results mirror others from last week, when an Associated Press (Lean Left bias) poll found that 77% of respondents think Biden is "too old to effectively serve another 4-year term as president," while 51% said the same about former president Donald Trump. According to FiveThirtyEight (Center bias), Biden's approval rating stands at 40%.
How the Media Covered it: Sources across the spectrum covered the poll, and framed it as a persistent issue for Biden. Some right-rated outlets focused on how voters are more concerned about Biden's age than Trump's even though Biden is only three years older.

Two-thirds of Democratic and Democratic-leaning independents would prefer President Joe Biden step away so that another candidate could assume the party mantle ahead of the 2024 presidential election, a new poll released Thursday morning revealed.
Nearly half (49 percent) of the 391 individuals sampled by CNN were alarmed by Biden’s age and associated problems.
