A new poll shows a record number of Americans say they are worse off financially since President Biden took office, the most ever recorded by the poll in its 37 years of asking the question.
\nAccording to the ABC News\/Washington Post poll, 41% of Americans say they are in a tougher financial situation since Biden’s inauguration in Jan. 2021, while just 16% say they are better off.
\nThose numbers stand in stark contrast to when the poll asked Americans the same question two years after the election of former President Trump, when just 13% said they were worse off and 25% said they were better off.
\nThe poll also showed Biden with a 42% approval rating and a 53% disapproval rating.
\nWhen asked about the upcoming 2024 presidential election, 62% of Americans said they would be disappointed or angry of Biden were to be re-elected, while just 36% said they would be enthusiastic or satisfied.
\nTrump fared better in the same question at this point in his presidency \u2013 56% of Americans said they would be disappointed or angry if he were to be re-elected, compared to 43% who would be enthusiastic or satisfied.
\nJust 31% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents said Biden should be the party’s presidential nominee, while 58% said the party should pick somebody else.
\nTrump also fared better in this category, as 44% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents saying he should be the party’s presidential nominee while 49% said it should pick somebody else.
\nThe poll results said that in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up, Trump would best Biden 48% to 44%. When narrowed down to just registered voters, Trump still came out on top 48% to 45%.
\nBiden has not yet said he will run for re-election, but has hinted his announcement could be imminent. He told a crowd of Democratic officials and activists last week, “we\u2019re just getting started,” and, “I intend to get\u2026 more done.”<\/p>\n
