CBS News poll finds Democrats meet Biden reelection bid with acceptance, more than excitement

Ahead of his reelection announcement Tuesday, Democrats said they like and approve of President Biden. They said they would greet that announcement, though, with more acceptance than excitement. And about as much nervousness as confidence.

Here's their rationale:

The Democrats who want Mr. Biden to run again think his job performance warrants it and, echoing their 2020 calculus, say he can beat Republicans again in 2024.

But nearly half of Democrats don't want him to run, and they overwhelmingly cite his age as a reason. It's not because they think he'd lose. They simply say it's "time for someone new."

That said, this is important: even most Democrats who say he shouldn't run would still consider supporting him in the primaries.

I’d prefer someone younger, but hey, I wouldn’t mind being a bit younger myself. Bet Biden feels the same.
