Independent voters have lost faith in President Joe Biden to handle the problems facing the United States and would choose former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis instead in 2024, according to a new post-election survey of the influential and growing group.
In a new Zogby Poll shared with Secrets, just 36.9% of independents approve of Biden, with another 60.7% signaling disapproval, a huge gap for a president considering a reelection bid.
Independent voters in the past have generally fallen in between Republicans and Democrats on key issues, though they have been trending in the direction of the GOP, and Jonathan Zogby’s poll tracks that shift.
Overall, in his survey of independents taken shortly after the November election, there is no good news for Biden.
Currently, Biden remains in the 2024 race with only Trump, despite a long list of problems on his Oval Office desk, including inflation, a potential recession, the historic border crossing crisis, a two-year supply chain disaster, and questions about his mental capabilities.
In a head-to-head matchup with independent voters, Trump just edges Biden, 38%-37%.
But against DeSantis, it’s a blowout with the Florida governor ahead, 43%-34%.
Zogby also asked independents about a matchup between Biden and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. In that head-to-head matchup, the political newbie did well, pulling 30% to Biden’s 32%, though the leader of that hypothetical is “Not Sure/Someone Else” at 37%. Still, it shows there is room in the 2024 race for a non-Trump candidate.

Voter preference no longer matters in elections.
If we have learned nothing in the past few election cycles, it should be that POLLS ARE WORSE THAN WORTHLESS.
Screw the damn polls. Clean up voter rolls!
Voters vote for the guy who promises the most pork and entitlements, period.
Polls don’t effect the cheating in the voting booths.
Yup. Polls said the same thing about Kari Lake.
Oh, yeah, Biden got 81 Million in the last election.
He’s a super STAR.
Who do the vote counters support?
No longer matters is correct. Due to mail in ballots delivered by the democrap party fairy, no longer matters.
More of the Gen Z is going to vote for Biden. They are woke. Some Millenials are turning red. But not enough.
Independents are ABANDONING Biden? Give me a break. Hey never had them to begin with. Gaslighting at its finest.
Polls don’t matter and our votes don’t matter. We no longer have free or fair elections. We are now post constitutional.
I think there should be a national discussion concerning the validity of the many political polls. Too many reflect ideological illusions rather than facts. The respondents lack enough of the facts to make a valid conclusion. And the questions do not take care to inject bias rather than objectivity.
We are now post constitutional
Post constitutional sounds so official and clean. We are now in fascist totalitarian territory.
Why would an independent voter CHOOSE Biden to begin with.
No surprise is this poll.
Cute! Someone still believes we have legit elections!
