Americans Really Don’t Like Joe Biden Right Now. Polls from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and CNN suggest low favorability ratings for Joe Biden with voters concerned about his age in 2024.
The end of summer has not been kind to President Joe Biden. Fourteen months out from the next election, a series of new surveys suggests that Americans — or at least the ones who answer cold calls — are not thrilled by the prospect of a second Biden term.
A poll from CNN and SSRS released Thursday pegged Biden’s job-approval rating at 39 percent — with 58 percent of Americans disapproving of his presidency thus far. Forty-six percent of registered voters said that any Republican nominee would be better than Biden next year. Among surveyed voters, the individual matchups between Biden and Republican candidates suggested an even race between all the GOP hopefuls — except for Nikki Haley, who held a 49 percent to 43 percent lead over the president. (Haley, of course, would first have to get out of a primary where she’s polling in the single digits.)
As for head-to-head polling with the real competition, Biden is tied with Donald Trump at 46 percent in the WSJ poll.
