President Joe Biden remains the leading contender for the Democratic nomination in 2024, but his primary opponents have carved out significant bases of support, presenting a hurdle for the president should their candidacies linger.

Biden claimed the support of 60% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters in a CNN poll published Thursday. By contrast, challengers Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Hollywood guru Marianne Williamson claimed 20% and 8%, respectively.

In additional bad news for Biden, majorities of those groups expressed openness to both of his challengers, with 64% open to RFK Jr. and 53% willing to consider Williamson. The outlet noted that RFK Jr. benefitted considerably from his last name and fond voter recognition of his family's past political figures.

Overall, one-third of Americans, 33%, said Biden winning would be a step forward for the U.S. will two-thirds said it would be a "setback or disaster" for the country. The president further earned a 40% approval rating in a different CNN poll published this week.

Conducted by SSRS from May 17-20, the CNN poll questioned 1,227 adults and has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.7% while the sample of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters has a margin of error of +/- 6.2%.

Williamson won’t go anywhere (too much of a flake), but WATCH OUT for Kennedy as Biden’s re-nomination is FAR from assured.

Government employees and journalists account for a large percentage of that

I thought the DNC already announced there would be no primaries.

“Who ARE these people?

Fair to state they are the dumbest of the dumb, those on handouts, or both. A rhetorical answer to a rhetorical question yet in this poll it is down to 1/3 instead of a 1/2, so there is that.

I think that was elections. They were still deciding on primaries.

Urban Democrats, urban immigrants, and some Suburban women.

Everyone knows... Joe Biden is an illegitimate President elected through industrial scale voter fraud. You can censor it, you can deny it, you can cancel anyone who says it but the bottom line is this... We have an illegitimate President who was selected by the most evil people on earth. The devil is running our country right now. Thanks Bill Barr...thanks Mike Pence... great job... you guys are cowards if not out right traitors.

RFK Jr, if he can get his message out, is the democratic nominee…

Superdelegates can stop it, because dem system is so rigged.

But if he gets heard he will win the actual votes

Dr Buttar was RFKJr’s physician...... “Rashid was an irreplaceable leader in the medical freedom movement. He was also my friend and physician. His early and courageous stand for his patients, for medical integrity and for evidence-based medicine cost him his career, relationships, income and his standing in his community and made him a pariah among his physician colleagues for decades. Rashid rarely spoke of his own sacrifices. His consuming focus was on healing the sick, comforting the afflicted and consoling the grief-stricken. I’ll always be grateful to him for the miraculous relief he provided me from mercury toxicity. He gave similar gifts to thousands. I’m grateful to God for giving me such a friend.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Coincidence? Conspiracy? Often the lines are blurred.

DIRTYSECRET, He talks about what happened openly... almost as if he has committed himself... Just like what Steve Bannon said to the feds... “You’re going to have to kill me” All in... we need more who are all in.

Imagine the free for all debate among those three.

Of course the Left won’t let it happen. They use Biden until they don’t need him and then bring in the replacement with their sycophantic media gushing in excitement.
