New Survey Gives Biden A Boost As Rebellion Continues To Simmer

US

A new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll found that, “President Joe Biden has held his ground against Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump despite questions about Biden’s mental fitness and calls for him to quit the 2024 race…”

  • Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report, quoted in the report, notes: “We have a race that didn’t change much. If you’re Biden, this poll suggests you’re in fine shape to continue.”
  • NPR’s Domenico Montenaro writes: “The race for the presidency remains statistically tied despite Biden’s dismal debate performance two weeks ago, a new national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds. Biden actually gained a point since last month’s survey, which was taken before the debate.”
  • Jake Sherman at Punchbowl News notes on the poll: “1) national poll, which tends to mask the president's weakness in swing states 2) House Dems not only think Biden can't win, but they also think the debate plainly shows he shouldnt be nominee. regardless of polls.”
