Similarly, Newsom would lead Trump with 42 per cent against 36 per cent and Buttigieg would take the lead on the Republican with 42 per cent to his 35 per cent.
This goes to show that instead of Biden, the current voter sentiment would rather have other Democrats face off against Trump.
The debatelast week(Thursday, June 27)has shaken Biden's standing in the 2024 US election race. During the debate, an audience of more than 50 million people saw Biden's hoarse, halting delivery that once again led to questions and debate about his age and his ability to lead the US.
Another recent survey, this one by CBS News, shows that following his debate with Trump an increasing number of voters, including Democrats, do not believe that Biden should be running for president.
The survey shows that most voters said that Biden should not run given his campaigning and his effectiveness in office, along with his age. By contrast, Trump among Republicans finds a wide view that he should be running.
