US President Joe Biden's approval has gone down to 40% this week, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed on Tuesday - just five weeks to go before the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
Responses were collected from 1,003 adults, including 448 Democrats and 383 Republicans.
A poll in June from The Morning Consult found that Biden's approval rating fell 20% among voters between the ages of 18 and 34 from January 2021 to June 2022. According to the poll, only 43% of young Democratic voters believe that Biden is respecting the promises that he made during his campaign, compared to 60% of average Democratic voters.
A New York Times/Siena College poll conducted in July showed that around 64% of Democratic voters say they would prefer a new standard-bearer in the 2024 presidential campaign, as voters nationwide have soured on his leadership, giving him a meager 33% job-approval rating.
Even those within his party do not have hopes of extending his term, as a CNN poll reveals that 75% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters want the party to nominate someone in the 2024 election other than President Joe Biden.
