Less than 1/3 of voters think Biden deserves reelection: CNN poll

As President Joe Biden moves closer to officially announcing his reelection bid, a majority of Americans say he does not deserve a second term, in a recent survey.

Asked "Do you think Joe Biden deserves to be re-elected, or not?" in a recent CNN survey, just 32% of respondents answered that he deserved to lead the country in a second term. By contrast, a whopping 67% said he did not deserve reelection.

Biden's support improved marginally when the survey only questioned registered voters, though only 36% of that group backed him for a second term while 63% opposed his remaining commander-in-chief.

The outlet's December survey showed that 37% of total respondents backed his reelection against 62% who did not, representing a 5-point shift against his bid for a second term in three months.

The president's overall approval rating stood at 42%, down four points from his December figure of 46%. A further 57% disapprove of his job performance.

Biden is also underwater on every major issue, including the economy, national security, environmental policy, China, and guns. His highest marks were on the environment, with 46% of respondents approving of his handling of the issue against 52% who did not support his approach.

Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent registered voters were undecided as to whom the party ought to nominate in his place. Sixty-nine percent of those who wanted another candidate indicated they merely wanted someone else while 31% named a specific candidate. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders came in first, with 5% choosing him to replace Biden on the ticket.
