Biden who is running for his second term will be 81 next year. If he wins the election which is set to be held in November 2024, he would become the oldest American to win a presidential election. Coming back to the poll, apart from Nikki Haley, the survey poll also revealed that Trump was ahead of Biden by 4 points, or 52 per cent to 48 per cent, while Ron DeSantis was ahead by 2 points, or 51 per cent to 49 per cent.

Apart from this, earlier this month, a poll by Reuters/Ipsos showed US President Joe Biden's popularity in the country dropped further to its lowest level this month since April. The two-day opinion poll, which ended on Saturday, showed 39 per cent of respondents approved of Biden's performance as president.
