President Biden’s approval rating hit an all-time low of 37.6%, prompting concerns about his re-election campaign’s viability.
Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight questioned whether Biden should continue running given the risk of persisting below a critical threshold.
“… Biden just hit a new all-time low in approval (37.4%) at 538 yesterday. Dropping out would be a big risk. But there’s some threshold below which continuing to run is a bigger risk. Are we there yet?” Silver wrote.
“I don’t know. But it’s more than fair to ask.”
Former President Trump, with a 41.6% approval rating, currently leads in hypothetical matchups.
Biden’s support among young voters has notably declined compared to the 2020 election, with independent candidates potentially further impacting the upcoming election dynamics.
Trump’s lead among young voters may expand if strategies to attract disenchanted youth voters succeed.
