16% of voters open to considering Joe Manchin as President, says poll.

Public Dissatisfaction and Potential Threat to Biden’s Reelection

Nearly⁤ one in five voters would consider voting for Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) as a third-party presidential candidate, according to a new poll, highlighting both ⁤public dissatisfaction with the two parties and a potential threat to President Joe Biden’s reelection.

Fusion Option and Manchin-Huntsman⁤ Ticket

The‍ poll,⁣ released Thursday by Monmouth University, found three in 10 voters would consider backing a third-party ‌”fusion” option with a Democrat and Republican on the ticket. Sixteen percent ⁤would consider backing a ticket that featured ⁣Manchin as the presidential⁣ candidate and former Republican‌ Utah governor Jon Huntsman ‍as⁢ the vice presidential candidate.

Just 2 ‍percent of voters would definitely support that ticket, while 14 ⁣percent probably would.

Earlier this month, Manchin teased a potential run on a “unity ticket” with Huntsman at a town hall put on by the centrist group No Labels.

“I’ve never⁤ spoiled a race,” Manchin said. “If​ I ⁤get into the race, I’m going to win.”

Threat to Biden’s Reelection

A third-party candidate ⁣could threaten Biden’s hopes for reelection. A poll ⁤ conducted last month found that if Cornel West, ​a⁤ socialist professor⁣ who supports race-based reparations,‍ makes it on the‍ ballot, he would garner 6 percent of ‌the ​vote, which could take enough of Biden’s support to let former president Donald Trump win.

Polling ⁢from earlier this year ​ found just ⁤37 percent ⁣of​ Democrats want Biden to serve four ⁤more years. Seventy-eight percent of ‌voters ‍said they think Biden should not run again.
