In what has been a leading story in most news outlets today and largely ignored here at Biden's cheerleader section, a new poll by AP-NORC shows that two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to drop out of this race.
The results counter what we are bombarded with here at DK, which is "real Dems are for Joe, so everybody shut up about it."
Moreover, the poll results show that only 3 of 10 Dems think he's still up to the job.
The new survey by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, conducted as Biden works to salvage his candidacy two weeks after his debate flop, also found that only about 3 in 10 Democrats are extremely or very confident that he has the mental capability to serve effectively as president, down slightly from 40% in an AP-NORC poll in February.
Joe Biden has been a great president. Joe Biden is a terrible candidate for this risky election.
Anecdotally, I know some hard-core Dem voters who also think that he is unlikely to survive another term and so their vote for Biden is actually a vote for Harris, which they don't want to cast.
Too many Dems now are doing exactly what they criticize others for doing, which is ignoring uncomfortable realities in favor of their chosen, faith-based support of one particular candidate.
