When it comes to figuring out who might win the election, people usually look at polls. These are surveys that ask people who they plan to vote for. The results help give an idea of how the election might go. Lots of different polls exist, like national ones that ask everyone in the country or state ones that ask people in specific places. Based on many polls, it seems like Trump has a good chance of winning the 2024 election.

But some people think there’s a better way to predict the winner. They believe that looking at how many people like the current president can show if they will be reelected. Right now, things don’t look great for Joe Biden.
His approval rating, which shows how many people think he’s doing a good job, is lower than it has been for other presidents who won. According to recent polls, only around 40% of people approve of Biden’s job performance. This is not a good sign for his reelection chances.
In comparison, former President George W. Bush won his second term with a slightly higher approval rating. The polls suggest that an approval rating of 50% or more is needed for a good chance of getting reelected. Biden has been struggling to reach that number.
Recent issues like slow economic growth and rising inflation have also hurt Biden’s image. Some worry about his age and health affecting his ability to govern. Additionally, his handling of certain situations, such as the Israel-Hamas conflict, has caused controversy.
Despite all these challenges, Biden’s main advantage seems to be that some voters still don’t like Donald Trump. However, when comparing their terms in office, many people think things were better under Trump’s leadership. This could give Trump an edge if the two were to face off again in the upcoming election.
The polls and approval ratings show a tough road ahead for Biden if he wants to win a second term. His ability to improve his image and address the concerns of the American people will be crucial in determining the outcome of the next election.
