Boot Biden out before Putin... say US voters

MORE Americans would rather kick Joe Biden out of the White House than see Vladimir Putin removed from power in the Kremlin.

Just a week after the US president was accused of making a gaffe calling for regime change in Russia, an exclusive poll for the Sunday Express has revealed Americans would rather see his presidency end. Asked which would be better for America, 52 per cent chose “Biden out of the White House” over 43 per cent for “Putin out of the Kremlin”.

The findings, in the poll by the Washington-based Democracy Institute, show almost two-thirds of Americans (62 per cent) believe Mr Biden will not be re-elected in 2024.

They also appear to confirm an expected bid by Donald Trump in 2024 will see him sweep back to power.

While Boris Johnson has seen a rise in public support for his handling of the Ukraine crisis, the error prone US president has not enjoyed a similar bounce.

Of 1,500 polled, who all identify as “likely voters’’, 57 per cent disapprove of his presidency, the same as a month ago, while just 39 per cent approve of it.

And 70 per cent believe the US is “heading in the wrong direction”.

His handling of the war is only approved by 40 per cent while 52 per cent disapprove, and his overall foreign policy has a 55 per cent disapproval rating compared to 42 per cent approval.

While a Techne poll for the Sunday Express showed almost a third of UK voters had Ukraine as their top concern, in the US just eight per cent saw it as their main issue, with the key worry being inflation.

If Mr Trump does run in 2024, according to the US poll results he would beat Mr Biden by 48 per cent to 43 per cent.

Patrick Basham, director of the Democracy Institute, said: “Biden’s foreign policy debacles, highlighted by America’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, have turned off voters.”
