A new poll has revealed that a majority of likely voters believe President Joe Biden should resign from the White House due to concerns about his fitness for the position.

The JL Partners/Daily Mail poll in which 57% of likely voters believe the president should step down comes after Biden announced his exit from the presidential race in July, a move that has led to Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic Party nominee, as the Post Millennial reports.

The poll's findings have sparked widespread discussion and political repercussions, with calls for Biden to depart growing louder.

This sentiment is shared across various voter groups, including independents, of whom 52% think Biden should leave office. Even within his own party, Biden faces significant opposition; 46% of Democrats believe he should step down, compared to 74% of Republicans.

Significant Political Repercussions Emerge

The poll's results indicate that Biden's departure from the presidential race has intensified doubts about his ability to serve out the remainder of his term. Among those who supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 68% said Biden should step down.

Meanwhile, 43% of Kamala Harris voters and a substantial 73% of Donald Trump voters also believe Biden should resign. These numbers suggest a broad consensus that transcends party lines, indicating deep concerns about Biden's fitness for office.

Biden's decision to exit the race has set off a chain reaction, with Vice President Kamala Harris now stepping into the role of the Democratic nominee. Her candidacy has brought new dynamics to the political landscape, but it has also heightened the pressure on Biden to resign.

In the days following his withdrawal, calls for his resignation have increased, particularly from Republican leaders and other political figures.

Political Figures Weigh In on Biden's Future

Republican leaders have been particularly vocal in their calls for Biden to resign. Senator JD Vance of Ohio criticized those who urge Biden to stop running without also demanding his resignation, calling it "an absurd level of cynicism." Vance argued, "If you can't run, you can't serve. He should resign now."

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri echoed these sentiments, asserting that if Biden cannot manage a political campaign, he is unfit to serve as president.

"Then RESIGN your office," Hawley said, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Similarly, GOP Chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York stated, "If Joe Biden can’t run for re-election, he is unable and unfit to serve as President of the United States. He must immediately resign."

These statements reflect the growing chorus of voices calling for Biden to step down. The idea that a sitting president might not be fit to complete his term is unprecedented in modern American politics, and it has created a sense of uncertainty as the country approaches the next election cycle.

White House Defends Biden Amid Resignation Calls

Despite the mounting pressure, the White House has defended President Biden's decision to remain in office. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to the criticism by reaffirming Biden's commitment to his presidency. "And he wants to finish the job that he started and delivering more historic results for the American people," Jean-Pierre said.

The administration's stance is clear: Biden intends to continue his work in the White House, despite the growing calls for his resignation. However, the poll's findings suggest that many voters have lost confidence in his ability to lead, which could present significant challenges for the administration in the coming months.

Conclusion: A Presidency in Uncharted Territory

The JL Partners/Daily Mail poll has highlighted a significant shift in public opinion regarding President Biden's ability to serve out the remainder of his term. With 57% of likely voters believing he should resign, the pressure on Biden to step down is mounting. This sentiment is not limited to one political party; it is shared by a considerable portion of Democrats, Republicans, and independent voters alike.

Vice President Kamala Harris's emergence as the Democratic nominee has further complicated the political landscape, raising questions about the future of the Biden administration.

As calls for his resignation grow, the White House remains steadfast in its defense of the president, but the situation remains fluid, with the potential for significant developments in the coming weeks and months.

The political ramifications of this poll are likely to be felt for some time, as the nation grapples with the unprecedented situation of a sitting president facing widespread calls for his resignation.
