Fox News Poll: Majorities approve President Biden dropping out of 2024 race, but don’t think he should resign

It’s been three weeks since President Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, and overwhelming majorities of registered voters across the political spectrum agree with that decision. They are also twice as likely to prefer that he finish his term rather than resign.

That’s according to the latest Fox News Poll released Thursday.

Eight in 10 voters (80%) agree with Biden dropping out, including more than 9 in 10 Democrats (93%).

Two-thirds of voters think Biden should finish his term (67%) rather than resign the presidency (32%).

Republicans (52%) are much more likely than independents (28%) and Democrats (12%) to feel Biden should resign. Most Democrats (88%) and independents (69%), and nearly half of Republicans (46%), think he should stay on the job.

Speaking of that job: Biden’s job rating stands at 41% approval, while 59% disapprove — only a tick above his record low 40%-59% (November 2023 and July 2022). Last month, it was 42%-58%. Some 79% of Democrats approve of the job he’s doing, just one point above his record low. Overall, fewer than 4 in 10 voters approve of Biden on foreign policy (39%), the economy (37%) and immigration (35%). 

President Biden’s personal favorability ratings have also fallen, and now stand at their lowest point in two decades. Just 38% have a favorable view of Biden, while 61% have an unfavorable view.

Biden’s favorable rating among Democrats stands at 75%, the lowest of his presidency. In fact, he’s near or at record lows for his term with most demographic groups. 

Four in 10 voters think Biden is extremely (20%) or very (19%) involved in White House decision-making. That’s about where sentiment was last month.

Most Democrats (70%) think he is extremely or very involved, while just 11% of Republicans and 28% of independents feel the same.

Did Vice President Kamala Harris know about President Biden’s decline over the last couple of years? Voters think so, as three-quarters say she did (73%), while 2 in 10 disagree (21%).

To varying degrees, there is partisan agreement here as majorities of Democrats (58%), Republicans (90%) and independents (69%) think she was aware of the president’s decline.
