Democrat President Joe Biden’s sinking popularity just took another dive after a new poll shows him trailing Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical 2024 poll.
According to a stunning new USA Today poll, likely midterm voters now see Biden as less popular than Hillary Clinton, one of, if not the most, disliked people in recent political history.
“That’s something that’s got to give President Biden pause and other potential Democratic challengers pause,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.

The poll found that if Hillary entered the 2024 presidential race she would beat Biden by 3 points in the Democrat primary.
The poll found that Trump would beat Biden in a head-to-head and he would beat DeSantis in a GOP primary.
The poll also found that DeSantis would beat Biden in a head-to-head race.

From USA Today:
Another prominent Florida Republican – Sen. Marco Rubio – currently leads in his re-election bid, according to the poll.
The poll gave Rubio a 49%-41% lead over Democratic challenger U.S. Rep. Val Demings, while the remaining 10% are undecided.
While Demings looks like a long shot at this point, Paleologos said the data indicates many voters don’t know much about Demings, a former police chief from Orlando.
That could change: Paleologos pointed out that among poll respondents who know of both candidates, Demings actually leads Rubio 51%-42%.
