Most Democrats would rather have a different candidate than incumbent President Joe Biden as the party’s nominee in 2024, according to a new poll.

The New York Times/Siena College poll found that 64 percent of Democrats said they’d prefer a different candidate. Only 26% of Democrats said they would support Biden in 2024.

Thirty-three percent of poll participants cited age as their primary reason for wanting a different candidate, while 32% said job performance. Ten percent of respondents said Biden isn’t progressive enough for their liking.

Despite an overall lack of enthusiasm, 44% of respondents said they’d vote for Biden if the election were held today, while 41% said they’d vote for former President Donald Trump.

The poll marks the latest in a trend of dismal polls for Biden. Recently, another survey found that 76% of Americans think the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction.

Biden’s approval ratings have continued to dip. Last month, just 36% of Americans said they approve of his job as president.
