However, Gallup points out that former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. suggested it could happen to Biden as well.
The study appears to support longtime Democratic strategist James Carville's recent assessment that Biden undermined his own legacy by deciding to launch an ill-fated re-election campaign.

Biden reportedly had a huge fundraising advantage in the final weeks of his 2024 presidential campaign, when his legacy depended on Vice President Kamala Harris defeating Trump. Despite this, he reportedly complained that he was unable to achieve that goal.
