Biden's Approval Rating Improves After Strong Response To Israel

US

President Biden has seen his approval rating strengthen slightly in the wake of a strong response to the war between Israel and Hamas. Since October 7, Biden's approval has improved by around 1.5%, according to RealClearPolitics.

  • The slight rebound in approval arrests an extended downtrend for the President amid concerns over his handling of the economy.
  • Biden will deliver major remarks from the Oval Office at 20:00 ET 01:00 BST this evening advocating for continued assistance to Ukraine and new security assistance to Israel. A new package could total upwards of USD$100b and underpin the Biden Administration's foreign policy objectives through to next year's general election.
  • Betting and prediction markets continue to see former President Donald Trump as the slight favourite in 2024. According to ElectionBettingOdds, an aggregator of multiple live betting and prediction markets, Trump has an implied probability of 35.3% of winning in 2024, marginally ahead of Biden with an implied probability of 32.6%.
