President Biden's popularity is lower in a number of key swing states than his national average, according to a series of surveys conducted by a polling company, a blow to his reelection hopes.
The Civiqs polls, conducted between January 2021 and May 2024, gave Biden an average net approval of -22, a better performance than he recorded in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, which could decide November's presidential election.
Biden is expected to face off in November against Donald Trump, the former president and presumptive Republican candidate, in a rematch of their bitter 2020 contest.
However, Biden performed worse in several of the states widely expected to swing the election, with a net approval rating of -25 in Pennsylvania, -28 in Nevada, -32 in Arizona, -27 in Georgia, and -24 in Michigan, all of which the Democrat won in 2020.
Trump has come under fire after claiming that "Human Scum" are "working so hard to destroy Our Great Country" in a Memorial Day post on Truth Social.
Separately, conservative X accounts shared footage that they said showed Biden asleep with his eyes shut at a Memorial Day event at the Arlington National Cemetery.
