Chinanews, December 8th. According to US media reports, a new poll in the US "Wall Street Journal" assumes that if US President Biden and former President Trump face off again in 2024, who will voters choose? The results show The two were almost tied.

The poll also showed that Biden’s approval rating is still not optimistic, and that Americans are generally dissatisfied with the country’s development direction. Over 60% of the interviewees still believe that the United States is on the wrong track.

Data map: Former US President Trump.

　　This poll surveyed 1,500 registered voters' views on Biden and the state of the country, and the survey was conducted from November 16 to 22.

On March 25, local time, U.S. President Biden held the first official press conference in more than 60 days since he took office, answering hot issues such as the border crisis, gun control, and infrastructure plans.

　　The survey shows that Biden's support rate continues to fall.

Overall, 41% of the respondents approve of Biden's performance, of which 19% strongly approve it and 22% more approve it.

Among all voters, 57% disagreed with Biden's performance, 46% of them strongly disagreed, and 10% disagreed relatively.

　　Biden's low approval rate and voters' pessimistic view of the state of the country are not good for Democrats who hope to retain control of both houses in next year's midterm elections.

Democrats have only a slight advantage in the House of Representatives, and they are on par with Republicans in the Senate.

　　44% of voters said that if members of Congress were to vote on that day, they would definitely or might vote for Republicans, while 41% said they would definitely or might vote for Democrats.

　　In terms of revitalizing the economy, curbing inflation, and improving border security, Republicans are more trusted by voters and have a double-digit advantage.

　　On the other hand, voters believe that Democrats are more capable than Republicans to deal with the epidemic, improve the quality of education, and reduce medical expenses.

Polls also show that if Democrats can pass comprehensive social spending and climate bills, their support rate is expected to rise, especially among swing voters.

　　However, an overwhelming 63% of respondents still believe that the United States is on the wrong track, and only 27% believe that the United States is on the right track.

And voters believe that the current economic conditions, inflation, crime, and political differences in the United States will only continue to deteriorate, rather than improve.

　　However, although voters may be dissatisfied with Biden and the state of the country, their dissatisfaction does not mean that they want to return to the Trump era.

In the hypothetical vote between Biden and Trump in 2024, 46% of voters will support Biden and 45% will support Trump.

　　Although such hypothetical polls cannot provide much predictive value, it at least shows that even though Biden's support rate is poor, if Trump is elected again, he will not necessarily win.

　　White House spokesperson Psaki once said that Biden intends to run for re-election again in 2024.

Since leaving office, Trump has repeatedly hinted at the idea of ​​returning to the election in 2024, but has not officially announced it.
