This revelation could potentially jeopardize his prospects for re-election.
The esteemed Gallup Poll, released on Friday, found that Biden, aged 81, had a disheartening job approval rating of 38.7% for the first quarter of 2024. This figure is three points lower than that of George H.W. Bush, a one-term president, at the same stage of his presidency.
The pollsters concluded, "With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent."
In comparison, former President Donald Trump, who is currently competing with Biden for a second term in the White House, had a 46.8% approval rating at this point in his presidency.

Over the past seven decades, every incumbent with an approval rating above 50% has secured a second term. The only exception to this trend was Barack Obama, who won the 2012 election despite a mediocre 46% approval rating six months before the general election.
