President Joe Biden is heading into the 2024 election cycle while struggling to engage with independent voters on nearly every metric, polling from Economist/YouGov shows.
The data, if it remains until election day, is terrible news for the president as independent voters are an important voter bloc that frequently determines swing state outcomes.
Across nearly all vital fronts, Biden is underwater:
- Seventy-eight percent of independents say Biden is a weak leader. Only 30 percent say he is a strong one.
- Sixty-eight percent of independents say Biden’s America is on the wrong track, only 17 percent say it is going in the right direction.
- Seventy-six percent say his economy is in bad or poor shape. Seventeen say it is in good or excellent condition.
- Sixty-four percent disapprove of Biden’s handling of jobs and the economy. Just 22 percent approve.
- A majority (54 percent) disapprove of how Biden is handling his job. Only one third approves.
- Fifty-seven percent of independent voters also see Biden as unfavorable. Just 34 percent view him as favorable.
The polling coincides with independents’ view of Biden heading into the 2024 cycle as the oldest president in U.S. history. When looking ahead to the 2024 election, Biden again scored poorly with independents.
