New polling offered grim news for Democrats about next year's election.
Fears are growing paramount among Democrats over President Joe Biden’s standing one year out of the 2024 election.
According to the surveys, swing-state voters have serious misgivings about Biden’s management of the economy — typically much more important to voters than world affairs — as well as his age. But foreign policy is also a weak spot for Biden, and some Democrats think it is exacerbating Biden’s other vulnerabilities, especially among young and non-white voters.
But even with the slightly better voter screen, the results still paint a bleak picture for the president. Wa’el Alzayat, CEO of the Muslim advocacy group Emgage, said his group and others have relayed their concerns directly to the Biden campaign. He said he is not worried about Muslim voters casting a ballot for Trump — who has embraced the reinstitution and expansion of a so-called Muslim ban — but rather sitting out the race entirely.
“Predictions more than a year out tend to look a little different a year later. Don’t take our word for it: Gallup predicted an eight-point loss for President Obama only for him to win handedly a year later,” said Kevin Munoz, a campaign spokesperson. “Or a year out from the 2022 midterms when every major outlet similarly predicted a grim forecast for President Biden. … We’ll win in 2024 by putting our heads down and doing the work, not by fretting about a poll.
But some Democrats remain worried. Waleed Shahid, a progressive Democratic strategist who has been highly critical of Biden’s approach to the war, said that many voters already had concerns about the president’s age that they were willing to put aside because they supported his legislative accomplishments tackling climate change and providing Covid-19 relief.
