Is Biden the Guy?

For John, BLUF:  The GOP has its own problem, with just under 25% wanting Mr Trump to go.  But, for Mr Biden, having gone through all those Primaries, 28% seems high.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Poll: 28% of Democrats believe Biden will be replaced as party’s nominee

Here is the sub-headline:

35% of voters overall believe that Biden will not ultimately be the Democratic presidential nominee.

From Just the News, by Reporter Carrie Sheffield, 12 May 2020.

Here is the lede plus three:

stunning 28% of Democratic voters say Joe Biden will be replaced as ultimate party presidential nominee, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

Biden is the presumed nominee following a string of primary victories that led to chief rival Sen. Bernie Sanders dropping out and endorsing Biden – who also has the backing of party leaders Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and others.

Trepidations about Biden include whether enough of the party's progressive wing will turn out for the so-called "Democratic Establishment" candidate, if he's physically and mentally up for going one-on-one with President Trump, a sexual assault allegation and a less-than-energized campaign, in part because of the coronavirus.

"There remains an undercurrent of doubt as to whether or not Joe Biden will ultimately be the Democratic presidential nominee," In fact, just 49% of voters believe he is unlikely to be replaced.  Another 35% think he’s at least somewhat likely to be replaced while 17% are not sure.

I am guessing there is some ambivalence on the part of Democrats with regard to former Vice President Biden.
