Biden Faces Steep Re-election Challenge with Historic Low Approval Ratings

With six months to Election Day, President Biden's approval rating hits a 70-year low, complicating his bid for a second term.

  • President Biden's approval rating has dipped to 38.7%, the lowest for any incumbent president at this stage in over 70 years.
  • Historical data suggests that incumbents with ratings below 50% typically face significant re-election challenges; only Obama has overcome such odds since 1945.
  • Biden's popularity struggles stem from various issues including economic concerns and policy decisions on immigration and energy.
  • Despite his low approval, current polls show a tight race between Biden and Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election.
  • Experts argue that Biden's ability to rebound may be hampered by ongoing economic challenges and public perceptions of his leadership.
