Only about half of Democrats think President Joe Biden should run again in 2024, according to a recent poll, but a sizable majority say they are more likely to support him if he becomes the Democratic nominee.

The poll by the Associated Press and the Public Affairs Research Center, NORC, shows that 26% of all Americans want Mr. Biden to run again - a slight increase from January's 22%.

47 percent of Democrats say they want him to run, also up from just over 37 percent in January.

The hesitancy among Democratic voters comes as President Biden prepares to formally announce his candidacy for a second term in the 2024 election next week, according to people familiar with his plan.

Despite the reservations many Democrats have about a second term for President Biden, 78% of them say they approve of his work in the White House. 81% of Democrats say they will support Mr. Biden in the general election if he is their party's nominee, 41% say they definitely will, and 40% say they probably will.

Interviews with poll respondents suggest the gap reflects concerns about Mr. Biden's age, as well as the desire of a new generation of Democrats for leadership that reflects their demographics and values. The 80-year-old Biden would be 82 years old on Election Day 2024 and 86 years old at the end of his second presidential term. He is the oldest president in American history.

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Mr. Biden appeared to hint that he would only serve one term in the White House, presenting his candidacy as a bridge to a new generation of Democratic leaders.

But during his time in office, President Biden has made increasingly clear his intention to run for a second term, saying as recently as last week in Ireland that he had "made up his mind" and would make it know soon.

In conditions where the situation in the Republican camp is chaotic, the president and his top advisers have not felt any urgency to announce the start of the campaign.

The president and his top political advisers will meet with Democratic donors in Washington next week in an event aimed at consolidating financial contributions ahead of the expected re-election campaign. Mr. Biden has dismissed concerns about his age, saying voters need only look at his work to determine whether he is ready for the job.

While many Democrats see Mr. Biden's age as a weakness, others say it is actually an advantage, citing his experience as a senator, vice president and most recently as president.

His job rating is currently 42%, a slight improvement from 38% in March.

President Biden and former President Donald Trump may face resistance from the general public in the general election.

65% of American adults say they are unlikely to support former President Trump, including 53% who say without a doubt that they would not support him.

The odds for Mr. Biden are smaller but still substantial: 56% of Americans say they are unlikely to support President Biden, including 41% who say they are certain they would not.

Mr. Biden has long expressed his belief that if voters are faced with the decision of choosing between him and a Republican candidate, especially if it comes to Mr. Trump, the majority of the electorate will side with the Democrats.
