In an Emerson College poll released Thursday, 51% of respondents said they disapprove of Biden’s performance a president, up 2 percentage points from April. Just 41% of voters approved of Biden’s job as president, which is consistent with the April poll.

The poll also found that 73% of Democratic primary voters would vote for Biden, which is much higher compared to his Democratic primary challengers. Only 15% of voters said they would vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and 3 percent would vote for for Marianne Williamson.

Meanwhile, the polling of Republican primary voters found that 59% would vote for former President Trump, 21% would vote for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and 6% would vote for former Vice President Mike Pence.

In a potential 2024 general election match-up, Biden and Trump are roughly tied, according to the poll, with 44% voting for Biden and 43% for Trump.

Biden’s approval rating has struggled to get above 40% and a Reuters/ Ipsos poll last week showed him with a 39% approval rating.
