In the latest report, President Joe Biden seems to be facing a tough road ahead for the 2024 election. According to recent polls by CNN, Biden is currently the least popular incumbent president at this point in his first term. Conversely, former President Donald Trump is emerging as a strong contender for the next election. The polling data indicates that Trump has garnered significant support, even more so than past Republican candidates who have run after their primary rivals dropped out.
The Republican candidate, Trump, is currently polling at a remarkable 81% support after his opponents exited the race, demonstrating his strong position as a non-incumbent candidate. In contrast, Biden is struggling to rally support within his own party, securing only 87% of Democratic votes, the lowest among incumbents since 2000. This lack of party support could spell trouble for Biden’s reelection prospects.

The numbers from the New York Times/Sienna poll paint a challenging picture for Biden, especially among independent voters. A majority of independents expressed concerns that a second term for Biden could weaken democracy, whereas fewer had the same worries about Trump. This discrepancy has left many political analysts puzzled, as the trend among independents seems to be shifting towards a preference for Trump over Biden.
As the 2024 election approaches, Biden’s advisors and allies are faced with the task of overcoming the substantial deficit in popularity that the president currently faces. The data suggests that Biden’s reelection campaign may be an uphill battle, given the lukewarm support he is receiving compared to past incumbent presidents. With Trump emerging as a formidable challenger, the road to victory for Biden appears increasingly uncertain.
