According to data provided by opinion polls, the businessman’s numbers have improved in recent months while the president’s numbers are getting worse. It’s not just the age issue that worries voters, who are also rejecting Biden because of the way he’s managing the economy and immigration. The current president’s popularity dropped to 37%, compared to 56% who disapprove of his actions. Approval drops to 30% if you look only at the economy and up to 23% for immigration management. The number of Democratic voters (62%) who want another candidate in 2024 continues to rise, however, voters themselves do not seem to have a particular opinion about who that candidate will be. For 8% it would be Vice President Kamala Harris, another 8% would be Bernie Sanders, and 7% would be Robert F. Kennedy Jr., JFK’s nephew and Novax activist who ran in the Democratic primary using America’s most famous last name.

This is the highest percentage recorded during his four years in office.
