More Americans say they are opposed to President Joe Biden running again in 2024 than are opposed to former President Donald Trump doing the same, according to a Tuesday poll from Politico and Morning Consult.

The poll cased voters with separate questions about whether they believed Biden and Trump should run for re-election in 2024. While a majority of Americans opposed both candidacies, a larger majority said Biden should bow out.
Sixty-one percent of respondents said they were opposed to a Trump candidacy, with 48% saying Trump should “definitely not” run in the next election and 13% saying he should “probably not” run.
