According to FiveThirtyEight’s weighted tracker, President Joe Biden’s approval rating has hit a new low, standing at 37.4%. This decline in approval can be traced back to the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan last year, which dealt a significant blow to Biden’s popularity. The situation worsened when gas prices skyrocketed to over $5 a gallon, pushing his ratings even lower.
Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has seen a slight uptick in his favorability rating since leaving office, despite being the first former president to be convicted of a felony. FiveThirtyEight’s weighted average puts Trump’s favorability at 41.6%, reflecting a somewhat more positive reception than Biden’s current approval rating.
Both Biden and Trump are facing challenges in maintaining strong public approval due to the hyperpartisan political climate in the United States. Recent history shows that presidents with sub-50% approval ratings at this point in their term face a tough road to reelection, with only Barack Obama managing to secure a second term despite these circumstances.
Looking ahead to the upcoming election, Biden is ramping up his campaign efforts and is set to participate in an early debate with his opponent on June 27. While facing a tough battle to regain his popularity, Biden is hoping that increased visibility and engagement with voters will turn the tide in his favor.
