The erosion for Biden is most pronounced among Democrats, a majority of whom believe Israel has gone too far in its military action in Gaza, and among voters ages 18 to 34, with a whopping 70% of them disapproving of Biden’s handling of the war.
But Horwitt cautioned that Biden can bring these disaffected Democrats and younger voters back into the fold. “These are people who have a proven track record in voting for Biden and Democrats,” he said.
Yet what stands out in the new survey is the shift among voters ages 18 to 34. In September, 46% of these voters said they approved of Biden’s job performance.
The NBC News poll — conducted Nov. 10-14 — comes more than a month after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, which killed more than 1,000 Israelis, and the subsequent war in Gaza, which has killed thousands more Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials.
All of this is shaping a general election that’s still some 350 days away. Biden trails Donald Trump for the first time in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup in the NBC News poll, though the deficit falls well within the survey’s margin of error.
Meanwhile, despite lower approval ratings from members of his own party, Biden gets support from a whopping 77% of national Democratic primary voters in the first NBC News poll to test the party’s 2024 presidential primary.
Looking ahead to the 2024 congressional elections, 47% of registered voters say they prefer a Republican-controlled Congress, versus 45% who want Democrats in charge. Back in September’s poll, voters split 46% Democratic, 45% Republican on this question.

the overton window has shifted so far right in the last decade that the old-school republicans would be centrist or pressing a bit into today’s left. and that’s what I’m trying to tell you. Voting for Biden is not voting for a progressive candidate. it’s voting to slow down the shift into fascism. But it doesn’t stop that shift. To stop that shift, you need a legitimately progressive candidate, so as to shift the overton window back to where it was (or, you know, maybe further left?)
Yeah. you’re right. So is, for example, George W… Being left of trump doesn’t make you a progressive, or even a centrist. Biden is not “Good”. he’s barely “adequate”. so I guess I’m fucked to have a “barely adequate” government for the rest of my life because you’re so fucking lazy you can’t pull your head out of your ass, while the right constantly erodes our government into a fascist hellhole.
Did I NOT FUCKING JUST SAY I WOULD BE VOTING FOR BIDEN? Are you able to read? or are you just trolling? fuck me. You ‘Blue no matter who types’ need to get a new script. I’ve been hearing that since the first election. It’s tiring and it’s clearly not working. So go ahead, call me an idiot for seeing something that isn’t working, and wanting something different, while humming out all the slogans and mantras from thirty years ago. the fascists approve of your efforts.
