Biden's Polling Numbers Improve After Campaign Exit

President Joe Biden has seen a notable improvement in his approval ratings since ending his 2024 campaign. Several recent polls show his best numbers in months or years, with some suggesting a significant uptick in public approval.

• USA Today/Suffolk University poll shows 48% approval, up from 41% in June.
• Quinnipiac, Gallup, and NPR/PBS/Marist polls also indicate improved ratings.
• Biden's numbers are now closer to the average for modern politicians.

Possible reasons for this improvement include reduced visibility, a convention bounce, improving economic indicators, and Vice President Kamala Harris's rising popularity. This shift could potentially weaken Trump's strategy of tying Harris to Biden's previous approval ratings.
