US President Joe Biden is in a stronger position than he was a year ago, but would face a Extremely close race with former President Donald Trump for the White House in the 2024 presidential election. This is reflected in a survey of The New York Times/Siena College, as reported by the American newspaper.
According to that poll, Biden’s approval rating slowly rising among Democrats ahead of his bid to try to run for re-election. Last year, nearly two-thirds of his party supported a different candidate. Biden, who is 80 years old, is already the oldest president in the history of the United States; if he is re-elected, he would end his second term at 86.
Despite stronger support among Democrats, the president continues to have a low popularity rating among voters overall, with an approval rating of just 39%.
The New York Times He highlights that the most worrying thing for Biden about the data from the survey is that, in a supposed face-to-face with Trump for the presidency, the duel would be very even: they would be tied, with a support of 43% each, in that alleged rematchaccording to the survey of The New York Times/Siena College.
This despite the former US president has several other legal cases open, including an alleged case of bribery of adult film actress Stormy Daniels and another for the deliberate retention of classified documents at her Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida. She could also face charges for her role in the January 2021 storming of the Capitol.
Another New York Times/Siena College poll shows that Trump would knock out his main rival, the governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, in the Republican Party primaries to choose a candidate for the presidential elections. The study puts the ex-president a long way ahead of DeSantis: 37 percentage points nationally
