The CNN poll also asked voters about potential replacements for Biden. Harris fared the best, trailing Trump by only two points, 47 percent to 45 percent, within the margin of error.

Several other prominent Democrats outperformed Biden in polling, including Govs. Gavin Newsom (Calif.) and Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.), as well as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The Biden campaign has quickly shut down any notion that the president would leave the 2024 race.

    Switching leaders for term 2 is universally a disaster.

    You want him to quit so the Dems lose? Damned hand-wringer Dems and the Russians they follow.

      Biden isn’t going to win. The Republicans are mad as hell, and the Democrats are bored.

      What we need is Trump spending the next 5 weeks telling us how old and senile Biden is, how bad an old, senile president will be. And then we tag in a 40-something candidate, making Trump the only geriatric left on the ballot.

      A random Millennial could run on an “Ok, Boomer” platform and beat Trump.
