Biden's Approval Rating Touches Multi-Month Lows Despite 2024 Launch

US

US President Joe Biden's approval has failed to rebound from lows following his 2024 re-election campaign launch last week.

  • According to RealClearPolitics, Biden's approval rating is currently tracking at 42.5%, the lowest aggregated figure since mid-January when Biden's approval touched 42.1% following the recovery of classified documents at private residences associated with the President.
  • Spencer Kimball, Director of Emerson College polling, noted in a recent survey that Biden's approval is being dragged by independent voters: “Driving Biden’s lower approval this month is independent voters, 37% of whom approved of the president in February, which has dropped to 30% this month."
  • Emerson College: "As the President announced his reelection bid Tuesday, a majority of Democratic voters (65%) think Biden should be the 2024 Democratic nominee, while 35% think it should be someone else. The share of Democratic voters who think Biden should be the nominee has decreased six points since February, from 71% to 65%."
