Ahead of the 2024 US elections, President Joe Biden has garnered the title of the least popular president in 70 years, according to a Gallup poll survey. With a job approval rating of 38.7%, Biden trails behind past presidents such as Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter.
Former president Donald Trump, in comparison, secured a higher job approval rating of 46.8% in the survey. Historically, incumbents with over 50% approval ratings tend to win re-election, but exceptions like Barack Obama exist.

Speculation surrounds Biden's potential return to power in 2024, with the New York Post suggesting it's unlikely given his low approval rating. Biden faces challenges such as inflation, border crises, and fallout from the Afghanistan withdrawal, coupled with concerns about his age impacting his effectiveness as president.
The Gallup poll, based on responses from 1,001 Americans received from April 1 to April 22, highlights stagnant approval ratings for Biden over recent quarters.
