Andrea Singmaster is thankful for President Joe Biden. He helped secure funding to clean up a contaminated site in her Philadelphia suburb and his efforts to crack down on Medicare drug prices will help family members financially manage arthritis and Crohn's disease.

U.S. President Joe Biden steps from Marine One upon his return to the White House in Washington, U.S., November 6, 2023.REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque/File PhotoPHILADELPHIA, Nov 7 - A lifelong Democrat who voted for Biden in 2020, Singmaster is hoping that someone else emerges to change the 2024 election,"I love Joe Biden. He's great, you know, but he's an old dude and I am really frustrated with our lack of choices and wish I could just run away," the 50-year-old Singmaster said.

Biden has sought to weave those items into a broad economic message - dubbed Bidenomics - of reinvesting in working-class America and lowering the costs of essentials like energy and healthcare.There is little sign that the effort was successful. A Reuters/Ipsos poll in September showed that about 57% of respondents had an unfavorable view of Biden, and about 58% held an unfavorable view of Trump.

He said this should be a time to celebrate Biden's achievements, not whining about polls and openly questioning whether the president should run again. "I think it's time we bury the Scranton Joe playbook," said a Democratic strategist who worked on the 2020 campaign and is now helping congressional candidates, about ads featuring Biden's working-class roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

"Our early research shows the president’s message of building on our progress to finish the job remains a winning one for mobilizing our base and persuading undecided voters,” campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said.
