President Biden enters his second year in office with low approval numbers and increasing questions over whether he should run for re-election in 2024. 

According to a recent FOX News survey, 60% of people don't plan on voting for President Biden if he decides to run.

The pollster looked at who in the Democratic party could be popular enough to win in 2024 and whether or not former President Trump could win again.
