[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suhwan] U.S. President Joe Biden's approval rating has hit a historic low.

USA Today reported on the 7th (local time) that a poll conducted with Suffolk University from the 3rd to the 5th surveying 1,000 Americans showed that 37.8% supported President Biden's job performance, while 59.0% did not.

Previously, in the same survey released on September 22, Biden's approval rating was 43%, and in a Gallup poll released on the 22nd of last month, it was 42%.

Among respondents, 63.7% said they did not want President Biden to run for re-election in the 2024 presidential election. In the same survey, opposition to former President Donald Trump's re-election bid was 58.4%, lower than that for Biden.

When asked, "If the presidential election were held today, who would you vote for?" 40% answered President Biden, which was slightly lower than former President Trump’s 44%, within the margin of error.

When asked, "If the congressional election were held today, which party's candidate would you support?" the opposition Republican Party led with 46%, ahead of the Democratic Party's 38% beyond the margin of error.

David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, which conducted the poll, said, "The Democratic Party should be worried about the midterm elections next November."

Additionally, 66% of respondents said, "The United States is on the wrong track," similar to the last week of the Trump administration's public opinion results.

In this survey, Vice President Kamala Harris's approval rating was even lower at 27.8%.

In a recent poll conducted by Emerson College, if President Biden faces former President Trump again in the next presidential election, the expected vote share was 43% to 45%, with Biden trailing.

Although President Biden himself has expressed his intention to run for re-election, he is already 78 years old, and according to The Washington Post (WP), Democratic supporters prefer other candidates.
