Joe Biden Suffers Poll Blow Among Democrats After Debate
Story by Brendan Cole • 15h •
Almost half of Democratic voters want President Joe Biden to be replaced by another candidate, following his widely panned debate performance against Donald Trump, a poll has found.
Biden's verbal blanks, non sequiturs and hoarse delivery at the CNN-hosted event on Thursday sparked fear and panic among Democrats, prompting some to call for the 81-year-old incumbent to step aside.
On Friday, Biden responded to critics, telling a rally in North Carolina that despite his age, he knew "how to do this job."
However, it seems that Americans—including a significant number of those who vote blue—beg to differ. A post debate survey released on Friday by Morning Consult found that 59 percent of independent voters and 47 percent of Democratic voters said Biden should be replaced as the party's presidential candidate.
