WSJ Poll Finds A Majority of Americans Doubt Biden Will Run in 2024

A newly released Wall Street Journal (WSJ) poll revealed a majority 52% of Americans polled do not believe Joe Biden will run for re-election in 2024. Think about that. More than half of the respondents didn’t expect the sitting president to run in an election that’s a mere twenty months away in a political environment that normally begins campaigns two years out.
Furthermore, only 29% of respondents expected Biden to pursue a second term. And 19% of respondents were undecided.
Even among Democratic respondents, the numbers were dismal: only 41% said they thought Biden will run again, while 32% said they do not think he would run, and more than a quarter (26%) were unsure whether he would run. We knew people out there in Real America were already thinking this, but to see many Democrats finally say it out loud truly is stunning.
For his part, “Biden and the White House have said he intends to run for re-election,” but of course they’d say that now. It’s likely a decision won’t be made until after either the 2022 midterm election is over or some event forces his hand.
So, what reasons do Americans have for these doubts about Biden? To begin with, many respondents were concerned “about his age and energy level.” As the WSJ pointed out, Biden would be 82 years old if he won re-election. That would make him “nearly a decade older than former President Ronald Reagan when he started his second term in 1985 at the age of 73.” I’m old enough to remember the leftist media losing their collective hive mind over Reagan’s advanced age for his first term, let alone his second term, and yet we hear not a peep from them today over Biden’s obvious decrepitude.
Next, as Democratic strategist James Carville quipped in 1992, “It’s the economy, stupid.” Americans are concerned about the economy and how it’s impacting their families. They’re feeling the pinch of the failed Biden economic policies that have inflation at a 40-year high, causing consumer prices to skyrocket.
