Some studies have suggested Biden’s weak numbers are hurting Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s chances at winning the race for governor. If so, the trend could spread, with Biden hurting Democrats running for other offices nationwide.
The study did not ask which other candidate Democrats would prefer. Vice President Kamala Harris has also struggled in polls, leaving an unclear future regarding who would run if Biden did not.
The most surprising part of the poll are the strong reactions at only 10 months into Biden’s presidency. Biden still has more than three years left in office, a concern for both Democrats and Republicans.
