More than half of Democratic voters think President Biden should not seek re-election in 2024, saying they want a change in the party — while four out of five Republicans believe former President Donald Trump would win if he ran, a new poll finds. 

Democrats give Biden high marks on his government experience (92%), his policy knowledge and experience (86%), and his efforts to unify the country (85%), but when it comes to him mounting another campaign in 2024, 56% say he should bow out, a USA Today/Ipsos poll released Sunday shows. 

Just 44 percent say Biden should run again. 

Also, women (55%) and people between the ages of 18 and 34 (53%) are less likely than men (67%) and people 55 and older (65%) to believe Biden can win in 2024.

In contrast, 59% of Republicans say Trump should be the GOP nominee and deserves to be elected, while 41% disagree, opting to see someone else leading the party and nation.

Asked what traits describe Trump, 90% of Republicans say he is “willing to use all tools” at his disposal to get things done, 87% say he “fights for the people he represents,” and 86% believe he will fight against “woke corporations and cancel culture.”

And 82% lauded Trump for standing up for the “freedom and dignity of all Americans,” while 82% think he can win and 59% say he is like them.

The poll comes as few national Democratic lawmakers will say they want to see a Biden campaign in 2024.

According to the poll, 46% of those surveyed ranked inflation or increasing costs as the top problem facing the country, issues that are bedeviling the Biden administration as it struggles to curb four-decade-high inflation rates. 

Republicans listed inflation as their top concern (58%) along with immigration (32%), while Democrats chose gun violence (40%) and climate change (35%).

The poll surveyed 2,345 adults between Aug. 18 and 22.
