A Monmouth Poll found that Joe Biden is losing support among minority voters.
In July, Biden had 63% support among black, Latino, and Asian voters.
Now, Biden has 47% support among minorities.
At the same time, Donald Trump’s support among minorities rose from 23% in July to 33%.
The poll also found that voters perceive Biden as too old for presidency, despite being only three and a half years older than Trump.
“These two men were born only three and a half years apart, but public perceptions of their age are wildly different,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
“This is certainly one of the reasons, but probably not the only reason, why there is little voter enthusiasm for seeing a rematch of 2020 except among partisan loyalists.”
NATIONAL POLL: Few voters are enthusiastic about the idea of either Joe Biden (32%) or Donald Trump (37%) becoming the 2024 nominees. However, there is greater enthusiasm within their own party bases, especially for Trump.https://t.co/ENnP7pqRuL pic.twitter.com/KcLyIzw3aj

Reporting from Not the Bee:
Some words from a Democratic Party official: "It would be irresponsible for us to not be concerned at this point," a Democratic National Committee official told the WSJ. "People can be hopeful about what the result is going to be. But we don't have any evidence as to why we should be hopeful. The polling is bad. The approval ratings are bad. We know about concerns about both the president's age and about the vice president if she were to take over."
