On any given day, you can find a poll that bodes ill for President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump. Whichever one loses in November may be the worst loser in the history of American politics.

Biden has no doubt seen the worst of it in most polls. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday put the president’s approval rating at 36%, tied for his record low set in July 2022. He has consistently been trailing Trump in swing states over the last few months, as he ignores or botches the handling of issues that voters care about, such as the economy or border security.
