Biden's Battle: Securing Democratic Support in a Close Race Against Trump

According to a New York Times/Siena College poll, President Biden's approval rating has risen since last year, but remains low at 39%. While he has gained stronger support from Democrats, with fewer wanting a different nominee, half of Democrats still prefer someone else. The poll also found that Biden is in a tight race with former President Donald Trump, with both tied at 43% in a hypothetical rematch in 2024. Despite his improved standing, Biden remains broadly unpopular among voters who are pessimistic about the country's future.
