2024 U.S. Presidential Odds: Joe Biden's Popularity

Joe Biden's approval rating has moved up in a number of key areas. According to Gallup, Biden's overall rating jumped up two percentage points to 42%. His handling of the war in Ukraine is at a 47% approval rating (up from 46%). And his rating on the economy jumped five percent to 37%.

You don't need to be a mathematician to notice the disapproval rate is higher than the approval rate. That could be Biden's undoing. 

But on the other side of the coin, there are some key indicators that Biden's policies, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, are working. 

He's been able to get inflation under some control. The Fed (and most central banks) aim for 2% inflation. At the time of writing, the inflation rate in the US is 3.18%. Compare that to 9.06% just over a year ago now.

He's got the left side of the vote locked up. But can he convince enough moderates and even a few righties that he's the person to continue leading the nation?

2024 President Elections: Republican Squable

On the talk of locked up. Donald Trump, who is favored to win the Republican Nomination, is facing the possibility of being locked up himself. 

Trump will be allowed to run for office even if he's arrested. Getting arrested might make him even more popular than ever. It's the kind of "me versus them" conflict that fueled his political career all the way to the White House in 2020.

It's why he's the favorite to win the Republican nomination and why he's hot on the heels of Joe Biden.

Can he be challenged from within his own party? At this point, it seems unlikely.

Challenger Rob DeSantis has fallen off. Hard. In February of 2023, the Florida Governor was only three percentage points back of Trump according to FiveThirtyEight, but since, he's dropped all the way to 15% vs. Trump's 52%.

His performance at the debate didn't help him in the slightest. He was tame and barely stood out other than this painfully awkward smile.

Why he's falling isn't quite clear. Some say it's DeSantis's hardcore conservative ideals. While there's probably some truth to that, it's not as if Trump is some sort of centrist in the Republican Party.

All that to say, Trump is likely going to be unchallenged as the Republican nominee. And will likely face off against Biden again. Someone who's defeated him before in a Presidential election. Again, I like Biden's chances to retain his job in 2024.

US President Odds: Favorite Usually Wins

While Donald Trump is currently the underdog to win the 2024 Presidency, that won't faze him one bit. Trump is one of only four people to win the White House as the underdog since 1916:
