US President Joe Biden’s approval ratings among Democrats have reached historic lows. In fact, as a Gallup poll shows, Biden has lost eleven points in one month with the 2024 US presidential election one year away, meaning 75% of Democratic respondents approve of the job Biden is doing as president. . Among independents, only 35% said they appreciated the work of the US President. The Republican consensus remained unchanged, as it confirmed that it obtained 5 percent.
The Gallup poll, released two weeks after the Hamas attack on Israel, reveals that Biden also saw his overall approval rating drop to 37%.
