By wide margins, respondents said Biden’s policies hurt rather than helped them personally and believed Trump would defeat Biden in a 2024 matchup. With net approval ratings underwater, the poll suggests Biden faces an uphill battle to win a second term.
Young voters

Biden trailed Trump among key demographics like white and Latino voters. Even young voters and his own 2020 supporters were divided on whether he should be the 2024 nominee.
The next election cycle

While Biden’s communications director dismissed the poll’s accuracy, its findings as the top-rated poll signal major challenges for Biden and Democrats heading into the next election cycle.
Underestimating President Biden
via CNBC
“Polling continues to be at odds with how Americans vote, and consistently overestimates Donald Trump while underestimating President Biden,” Biden Campaign Communications Director Michael Tyler said.
Voter behavior
via Fox News
“Whether it’s in special elections or in the presidential primaries, actual voter behavior tells us a lot more than any poll does and it tells a very clear story: Joe Biden and Democrats continue to outperform while Donald Trump and the party he leads are weak, cash-strapped, and deeply divided. Our campaign is ignoring the noise and running a strong campaign to win – just like we did in 2020.”

The NYTimes isn’t the only publication sounding the alarm on Biden. According to a recent CBS News/YouGov survey, former President Donald Trump has taken a national lead over President Joe Biden by four points.
