'The longer Kennedy and Williamson hang around...the weaker Biden will appear to more serious potential Democratic contenders. An already-shaky Biden faces some long months ahead, struggling to keep the party in line.' -ZacharyFaria
Democratic presidential primary polling over the past week shows Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with a toehold in the race. Kennedy came in at 19% in a poll sponsored by Fox News and 21% in a poll from Emerson College, with Biden at 62% and 70%, respectively. Earlier this month, Marianne Williamson also registered a double-digit polling performance, pulling 10% in an Echelon Insights poll.
Just 47% of Democrats want Biden to run for another term, an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll reports. That is actually an increase in his support among Democrats from January, when just 37% wanted him to run again. This comes despite Democratic voters giving him a 78% approval rating. Democrats like Biden and the job he has done, but they are not eager to see him run for president in his 80s.
If marginal figures such as Williamson and Kennedy can both draw double digits in the polls, it shows a real appetite for Democrats wanting to move on from Biden. Williamson is not a serious candidate, and Kennedy, while benefiting from his famous name, is an unhinged conspiracy theorist. Neither of them has a real chance to become the nominee, but their polling numbers could serve as chum in the water for some serious contender willing to step on a lot of Democratic toes.
Perhaps Democrats are going to begin circling the wagons, now that Biden has announced his reelection campaign. But there is no denying that they are not enthused by his candidacy. The longer Kennedy and Williamson hang around and show what level of support even a weak Biden alternative can draw, the weaker Biden will appear to more serious potential Democratic contenders. An already-shaky Biden faces some long months ahead, struggling to keep the party in line.
