Most Democrats nationwide say that President Biden should end his reelection
campaign based on his performance in the presidential debate two weeks ago,
according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

The poll results contradict Biden’s claim that only party elites want him to
step aside. He has said that positive interactions with supporters on the
campaign trail have helped persuade him to stay in the race after a debate in
which he trailed off and occasionally appeared confused. But the poll finds that
56 percent of Democrats say that he should end his candidacy, while 42 percent
say he should continue to seek reelection. Overall, 2 in 3 adults say the
president should step aside, including more than 7 in 10 independents.
