The poll results are not favorable for President Biden either, right?
[Reporter]
According to USA Today, in a poll of 1,000 voters at the end of last month, in a hypothetical multi-candidate race, President Biden’s approval rating was at 38%, while former President Trump’s was at 41%.
Although Trump’s approval rating increased by 3 percentage points compared to May, the gap with Biden remains within the margin of error.
Areas where Trump is favored are the economy, immigration, national security, and responding to China, while Biden is favored in health and race, but only in these two areas.
It has been revealed that 41% of Democratic supporters hope for a change in the party’s presidential candidate, besides President Biden.
