According to a recent survey, Joe Biden may get more than he bargained for in the Democrat primary if he decides to run for re-election in 2024.
In a Rasmussen poll, nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to face challengers in the Democrat Primary.
More than half of Democrats polled support RFK Jr.’s challenge.
Around half of the total respondents, which included Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, do not want Biden running for re-election.
The survey questioned 950 U.S. likely voters from April 9-11, 2023.

WATCH:
The Washington Examiner reported:
In the first indication of just how desperate Democrats are for a 2024 presidential nominee not named Joe Biden, a new election survey found that a majority support Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s plan to get in the race on Patriot’s Day.
Kennedy’s candidacy is supported by 52% of Democrats, just 32% are opposed, and 16% aren’t sure, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey.
That could be viewed as remarkable for RFK and damning for Biden since Kennedy has been mocked and marginalized by legacy media for questioning COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
But he has not only survived the onslaught but has solid support. In the survey, Rasmussen said that half of his support was “strong.”
The survey was muddy on what Democrats really want. Some 62% said that Biden should run again. And an equal 62% said other Democrats should challenge him.
Among all likely voters — Democrats, Republicans, and independents — just 39% said Biden “should” run for reelection. And 66% said other Democrats “should” run against him in the primaries.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially kicks off his presidential campaign April 19th, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts.
