Biden and Trump, Approval Ratings Neck and Neck... Possibility of a Rematch After 4 Years

With U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump expected to face off again in the 2024 presidential election, recent hypothetical head-to-head polls have shown their approval ratings fluctuating back and forth.

Morning Consult, a U.S. polling firm, announced on the 11th (local time) that in a survey of about 6,000 voters, President Biden (43%) led former President Trump (42%) by 1 percentage point in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup.

In the previous poll, former President Trump's approval rating was higher, but the order has reversed again. In a survey released on the 28th of last month, Trump and Biden recorded approval ratings of 44% and 41%, respectively. This attracted attention as it was the first poll result where former President Trump led President Biden.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, often called the "Republican rising star," trailed President Biden (43%) with 38% support in this survey as well. Moreover, the gap in approval ratings widened compared to the previous survey (2 percentage points), suggesting growing voter skepticism about his competitiveness in the general election.

In a poll of about 3,600 Republican supporters, former President Trump recorded an overwhelming 56% approval rating. Governor DeSantis and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy followed with 17% and 8%, respectively.

Recently, Ramaswamy has shown an upward trend, achieving a 10% approval rating in other polls as well. Accordingly, some predict that the early Republican primary race will focus on the competition for second place between Governor DeSantis and Ramaswamy.
