MSNBC predicts ominous New Year’s Eve forecast for Biden’s re-election bid
President Joe Biden’s Approval Ratings Spell Trouble for 2024
A political analyst on MSNBC recently shared some concerning news for President Joe Biden as he enters the year 2024. According to national political correspondent Steve Kornacki, Biden’s job approval and poll numbers are not looking good for his re-election prospects.
Kornacki, known for his insightful analysis backed by charts, compared NBC’s final poll of the year to previous statistics for presidents heading into a re-election year. He revealed that Biden’s approval rating stood at a mere 40%, with a disapproval rating of 57% in November. This is the lowest rating for an incumbent president since President George H.W. Bush, who failed to secure a second term.

Furthermore, Kornacki highlighted the shift in 2024 general election polls. Throughout 2023, these polls have transitioned from favoring Biden in a head-to-head rematch against former President Donald Trump to now giving Trump a plus-two margin over Biden. This indicates that the upcoming election is shaping up to be a highly competitive race.
One major concern for voters, as Kornacki pointed out, is Biden’s age (81) and fitness to continue serving as commander in chief. Three out of four voters have expressed moderate to major concerns in this regard. On the other hand, Trump’s legal situation is also causing anxiety among voters, especially if there is a conviction.
While both Biden and Trump are leading in their respective parties’ polls, Kornacki shared data that revealed they both fell short when compared to a “generic” member of their own party in a November poll by NBC News. However, Biden’s deficit was in double digits, unlike Trump’s.
Looking beyond the two major parties, Kornacki presented a poll from The Wall Street Journal that included third-party options and other notable figures like Robert Kennedy Jr. and potential Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV). These alternative candidates garnered a combined 17% of the vote, raising the question of whether a third-party candidate could become a wild card in the 2024 election.
As we enter 2024, it seems that there is not a strong desire for a Trump versus Biden rematch, despite both parties leaning in that direction. The upcoming election holds many uncertainties, and the presence of a third-party candidate could significantly impact the outcome.
What specific factors have contributed to President Biden’s declining approval ratings
Gs have taken a hit according to the latest polls, and this could be a cause for concern for the President and his team as they look ahead to the 2024 election. With an approval rating of just 40%, it is clear that a majority of Americans are dissatisfied with Biden’s performance in office.
This low approval rating is particularly worrisome considering it is still early in Biden’s term. Typically, presidents experience a “honeymoon period” in their first year, where their approval ratings are at their highest. However, Biden seems to have missed out on this trend, as his approval numbers have been steadily declining since taking office.
There are a few key issues that may be contributing to Biden’s lower approval ratings. The most prominent of these is the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite promises of a swift and effective response, the administration has struggled to control the spread of the virus and has faced criticism for its handling of vaccine distribution.
Additionally, Biden’s approval numbers have likely been influenced by the economic challenges facing the nation. Inflation rates have reached record highs, and there has been a surge in gas prices and supply chain disruptions. These factors, combined with a slow economic recovery, have left many Americans feeling frustrated and uncertain about the future.
Moreover, Biden’s policy agenda has also played a role in his declining approval ratings. From immigration reform to climate change, the President has faced pushback from both sides of the political spectrum. Progressives argue that he has not done enough to enact progressive policies, while conservatives believe he has overreached with his executive actions.
Looking ahead to the 2024 election, Biden’s low approval ratings could have serious implications for his re-election prospects. History has shown that presidents with low approval ratings at the beginning of their re-election year often struggle to secure a second term. If Biden wants to improve his chances, he will need to address the concerns of the American people and focus on delivering results.
It is important to note that approval ratings can be volatile and can change over time. With three years left in his term, Biden still has an opportunity to turn things around. However, if he continues on the current trajectory, he may face an uphill battle in 2024.
In conclusion, President Joe Biden’s approval ratings spell trouble for his re-election prospects in 2024. With an approval rating of just 40%, it is clear that a majority of Americans are dissatisfied with his performance in office. The COVID-19 pandemic, economic challenges, and controversial policy agenda have all contributed to his declining popularity. If Biden hopes to secure a second term, he will need to address these concerns and demonstrate strong leadership in the years to come.
