President Joe Biden wants people to “read the polls” — but the polls do not seem to be in his favor, despite what he is suggesting.
The president was asked by a reporter on Tuesday, “What’s your message to Democrats who don’t want you to run again?”
“They want me to run,” Biden responded, to which the reporter added, “Two-thirds say they don’t.”
Biden added, “Read the poll. Read the polls, Jack. You guys are all the same. That poll showed that 92% of Democrats, if I ran, would vote for me.” He doubled down on the 92% claim when the reporter pushed back.

However, The New York Times/Siena College poll released on Monday found that 64% of Democrats would like to see a new nominee run in the 2024 presidential election.
“In a sign of deep vulnerability and of unease among what is supposed to be his political base, only 26 percent of Democratic voters said the party should renominate him in 2024,” the Times writes.
