A new report released this week claims that President Joe Biden’s chances of winning reelection are the lowest of any sitting president over the last thirty years.
Less than 40% of respondents to a Gallup poll expressed a desire for Biden to serve a second term, according to the Washington Examiner. This is even lower than his current 41% approval rating, which is his lowest rating in 32 years.

“The gloomy results for the liberal president follow several other polls showing him losing to former President Donald Trump, though many of those polls show that voters don’t want either to return to the White House,” the Examiner added, citing the results.
“However, Gallup did offer a glimmer of hope for the incumbent. The survey firm made the case that a couple of other recent presidents who were underwater in polling leading to an election won, though none were as undeserving as Biden is,” the outlet added.
Interesting trends in public opinion existed prior to incumbent presidents running for reelection, according to Gallup’s analysis. Gallup questioned whether former presidents Trump, Clinton, and George H.W. Bush were deserving of another term in office prior to previous elections. In December 2011, similar inquiries were made concerning Barack Obama and George W. Bush in late 2003 and December 2011. Now let’s examine the results.
Gallup added: “Of these, the younger Bush (who won reelection) had the highest reelect figure, at 53%, while two incumbents who lost, Trump at 50% and the elder Bush at 49%, scored just below. Although Biden’s current rating ranks lowest among the readings for the past six presidents, his 38% is most similar to Clinton’s 44% and Obama’s 43%, both of whom won a second term.”
According to the survey, voters’ opinions of Congress are even worse, with only 24% of respondents thinking they should be reelected. However, as predicted, 55% of respondents felt that their senators and representatives ought to be.
The surveyor came to the following conclusion:
“Voters are not enthusiastic about returning most elected federal officials to office. Biden trails other incumbents at similar points in their presidencies, and voters are less likely than in other recent election years to say members of Congress deserve reelection.”
“While the numbers for Congress are unlikely to improve, based on historical patterns, Biden’s numbers could. He hopes to follow the paths of Clinton and Obama, whose electoral fortunes improved during their reelection years and saw them win second terms, rather than those of Trump and the elder George Bush, whose support for a second term deteriorated over the course of the election year.”

In an attempt to obtain the GOP nomination, Trump promptly removes Nikki Haley, his last notable rival.
Just 18% of potential Republican primary voters supported Haley, while 81% of them supported the former president, according to a recent Morning Consult poll. This results in a noteworthy 63-point disparity between the two contenders.
Trump’s support from 79% of likely GOP voters boosts his popularity in New Hampshire. This represents a noteworthy four-point increase, according to a recent Morning Consult poll. With barely 20% support, Haley lags behind.
Despite her lackluster showing in the first two primaries, former South Carolina governor Haley is adamant about continuing in the contest.
“New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not the last in the nation. This race is far from over,” she said after Trump defeated her in the state. “The road is never going to stop here in New Hampshire. That’s always been the plan.”
“Most Americans do not want a rematch between Biden and Trump,” Haley added. “The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election. I think it should be the Republicans that win this election.”
In South Carolina, Haley’s home state, Trump leads the polls.
