US President Joe Biden's approval rating continues to bounce back after plummeting over the summer. A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows he now leads former President Donald Trump in a potential 2024 rematch by the widest margin since early spring.

The poll showed that if the next presidential election were held today, 48% of those polled would choose Biden, while 42% would vote for Trump..

Joe Biden's Democratic Party is also doing better, with 45% of registered voters saying they would cast their ballots for the Democratic congressional candidate in their district if the election were held today.. 40% say they would elect the Republican nominee.

This result still doesn't guarantee the Democrats a victory in the midterm congressional elections in November.. As a rule, it is the opposition party, and not the pro-government party, that wins seats in the midterm elections, since its supporters are more motivated to vote against the president, unlike those who support the political force that leads the White House.

At the same time, the heat of passion around the two top topics of American politics - the ban on abortion and Trump's attempts to reverse the election results, can mobilize Biden supporters, Yahoo News experts say..

The Yahoo News Poll was conducted by YouGov using a representative sample of 1,634 American adults surveyed online September 2-6, 2022. The error is about 2.6%.

It was previously reported that Biden's approval rating rose six percentage points to 44%, the highest in a year, in a Gallup poll last week..

The significance of the US midterm elections in November is that their results will shape the US political landscape for the next two years and will largely determine the parameters of the 2024 election campaign..
