Both too old, one is failing on the economy, the other tried overthrowing the government and they are both loathed by the American public at large.
Don’t we want better, America?And yet, both seem most likely to be our options for president in 2024.
Biden’s approval rating is weak. According to Gallup, he stands at 42 percent approval. The average for U.S. presidents at this time in their presidency is 51 percent. Trump at this time in his presidency was slightly worse, at 40 percent. The economy, which often makes or breaks candidacies, is not particularly strong under Biden. Like California the U.S. economy performs well in a macro sense, but voters feel the pain on a micro level.
These mixed results contribute to satisfaction on a personal level. According to a Wall Street Journal poll taken late last month, 58 percent of voters think the economy is worse than two years ago and nearly three out of four voters say inflation is worsening. Trump is currently facing several indictments for various crimes and last month he received his fourth, for attempting to overturn the Georgia election results, which included pressuring the state’s top election official to “find’ the 11,780 votes needed to hand the result to Trump and lying about alleged voter fraud.
