"Biden Reelection Chances Do Not Look Favorable": Political, Economic Indicators "Not Promising", Gallup Poll Finds
Gallup ^ | 02/16/2024 | Jeffrey Jones and Megan Brennan

Several key indicators of the 2024 election environment indicate that President Joe Biden faces an uphill climb to win a second term. His job approval rating, Americans’ satisfaction with how things are going in the country and their confidence in the economy are below the levels associated with successful reelection bids in recent elections.

While Democrats hold a slight edge in national party identification and partisan leanings, that advantage is smaller than what it has been in past presidential elections won by Democratic incumbents.

In less direct measures of the electoral environment, Americans are more inclined to say that they are worse off financially, that it is harder to buy things and that the U.S. is as respected throughout the world as it was before Biden took office.

Biden’s fate will ultimately be determined by whether Americans’ views on these metrics improve over the course of the year (as they did for Bill Clinton in 1996 and Barack Obama in 2012), stay the same or get worse (as they did for George H.W. Bush in 1992 and Donald Trump in 2020).

Presidential Job Approval

Incumbent job approval is arguably the best predictor of reelection success. Presidents with approval ratings of 50% or higher close to Election Day have all been reelected. All but one president with a sub-50% approval rating lost, the exception being George W. Bush. He won reelection with a 48% approval rating in Gallup’s final 2004 preelection poll taken in late October. However, he registered multiple 50% readings earlier in the month and had a 51% approval rating among likely voters in that final survey.

Among the approval ratings that did not carry incumbents to victory, Trump’s 46% approval rating is the highest and Gerald Ford’s 45% close

My guess is he will not run. Harris or Mike.

And of course there will still be fraud.

The elections are fraudulent on the national level and probably locally as well…so it really doesn’t matter…

This will be America if Gavin wins.

This is Los Angeles. It's called Graffiti Towers. This has been allowed to happen.

The Republicans need teams to surround and monitor every voting tabulation center 24/7 while counting is going on. Monitor and record every vehicle or person going in or out especially during off hours if counting has “stopped” for the day.

8 items higher in cost.

AVERAGE of the total 8 items was an increase of 46.5 %
