The weekly POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows Biden would lose 46% to 37% to what pollsters refer to as a "generic" candidate should he seek reelection in 2024.
A key finding in the national tracking poll shows the unnamed Republican candidate would carry 41% of the critical independent voters, compared to 21% for Biden.
However, when Biden is pitted against a specific GOP candidate in a hypothetical, head-to-head race, the poll shows the Democrat president deadlocked with former President Trump and leading former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
