US President Biden had relatively few negative answers. If President Biden is elected as a candidate, the answer that he would never or probably would not support it was less than a majority with 45% of the total. 54% said he would support it. By political orientation, 82% of the Democratic Party confirmed their intention to support it. 91% of Republicans were against it. However, for both candidates, the opposition outweighed the approval in terms of candidate suitability.
