from: Democrats Sour on Biden, Citing Age and Economy
"Democrats Sour on Biden, Citing Age and Economy"
Biden appears to have been "instructed" to hide in the basement for the last few months of his campaign for president. His appearances were rife with gaffs and massive "noshow" in terms of numbers of people gathering to hear it.
So then "predictably" a lot of fuss and fury was being made in 2020 that Biden was past his prime, showing signs of aging quickly, not mentally alert etc and claims were made that the Trump economy of 2018 and 2019 could not be matched by a Biden leadership when even Democrats seemed to have been looking "for another more qualified" candidate at the start of that election year.
Fast forward to today and the NY Times article above. Surprise surprise.
That reads like a Republican campaign ad in 2020.
The good news is - this apparently surprises nobody.

"President Joe Biden is facing an alarming level of doubt from inside his own party, with 64% of Democratic voters saying they would prefer a new standard-bearer in the 2024 presidential campaign, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll, as voters nationwide have soured on his leadership, giving him a meager 33% job-approval rating."
"Widespread concerns about the economy and inflation have helped turn the national mood decidedly dark, both on Biden and the trajectory of the nation. More than three-quarters of registered voters see the United States moving in the wrong direction, a pervasive sense of pessimism that spans every corner of the country, every age range and racial group, cities, suburbs and rural areas, as well as both political parties."
"Only 13% of American voters said the nation was on the right track — the lowest point in Times polling since the depths of the financial crisis more than a decade ago"
..."more than two-thirds of independents also now disapprove of the president’s performance, and nearly half disapprove strongly...At 79, he is already the oldest president in American history, and concerns about his age ranked at the top of the list for Democratic voters who want the party to find an alternative."
