Over two thirds of Americans believe that President Joe Biden does not deserve another term in office.

The new CNN poll was conducted by SSRS throughout the month of March. The new numbers suggest that the improvement Biden saw after Democrats over-performed expectations in the 2022 elections may have backslid. The poll was almost entirely completed before news of former President Donald Trump’s indictment broke at the end of last month, so the poll is not a reflection of how Americans’ attitudes may have changed because of it.

Biden’s approval rating hit 42% with a disapproval rating of 57%. In January, those numbers were 45% and 55%, respectively. The difference is within the margin of error for the poll, however.

But with Americans who believe Biden deserves a second term in office, he is much further underwater. Less than a third, 32%, of Americans said that Biden deserved another term. That’s compared to 67% of respondents who said he did not. Biden fared a little better with registered voters, 36% of whom said Biden deserved another term compared to 61% who did not.

The majority of registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say that Biden should not run for another term. That cohort responded with 44% in favor of Biden as the Democratic Party’s 2024 nominee and 54% saying someone else should have the opportunity.

When asked about who should replace Biden, most Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (69%) did not have an answer beyond “just someone besides Joe Biden.” The top pick among those who specified someone else was Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at 5%. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was second with 4% and Vice President Kamala Harris and former First Lady Michelle Obama tied for third at 3% each.

Biden’s overall unpopularity is reflected in his unpopularity among major issues. Biden’s approval rating on how he has handled major policy is underwater on every issue. On three issues, Biden’s approval rating is in the 30s: the economy is 37% approve to 62% disapprove, immigration is 35% to 63%, and gun policy is 37% to 62%. Biden’s best issue is environmental policy, though he is still underwater at 46% to 52%.

Biden has not formally announced a reelection bid for 2024, though he is reportedly telling allies that his anticipated announcement is a question of when, not if. “I am definitely running,” he told one elected official several weeks ago, according to CNN.

Champion cyclist Ethan Boyes was killed and former fire commissioner Don Carmignani was attacked this week in San Francisco, marking two more recent acts of violence against prominent individuals in the city alongside the death of entrepreneur Bob Lee in a stabbing.

Lee, who founded digital payments service CashApp and was the chief product officer of cryptocurrency startup MobileCoin upon his death, was visiting downtown San Francisco when he was stabbed in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The murder of the prominent businessman drew renewed attention toward crime and homelessness in San Francisco.

Michelle Tandler, the founder of Growth Path Labs and Thumbtack, as well as a frequent critic of leadership in San Francisco, noted on social media that Boyes was also killed and Carmignani was likewise attacked in the last few days.

Boyes was riding his bike on Tuesday afternoon when a car struck him on Arguello Boulevard after swerving across the center line. Police have not revealed whether the driver, who sustained injuries that were not life-threatening, was taken into custody or had been abusing drugs or alcohol.

Boyes was a USA Cycling Masters Track national champion in both 2018 and 2019; he held the national record for the 500-meter track time trial flying start.

“Ethan was a very experienced cyclist and well regarded in the cyclist community,” Shaana Rahman, a spokesperson for the family, said in a statement to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is a pretty devastating loss for the family and for the San Francisco cycling community.”

Carmignani was attacked by a group of homeless people in front of his mother’s home at Laguna and Chestnut Street on Wednesday evening; one of the individuals beat the former fire commissioner with a pipe, leaving him with a fractured skull and other severe injuries. Carmignani was also slashed in the face with a knife.

Garret Doty, a 24-year-old, was later arrested in connection to the incident and booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and battery causing serious injury.

“Our hearts go out to him and his family,” San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott remarked in a statement to CBS Bay Area. “He’s expected to survive his injuries which is good news. But these types of brutal attacks and these types of brazen attacks, these are the kinds of things that have people anxious.”

The number of arrests in San Francisco has fallen significantly over the past three years amid calls from prominent officials, including San Francisco Democratic Mayor London Breed, to defund law enforcement. Tesla chief executive Elon Musk and former UFC champion Jake Shields were among the well-known individuals who criticized San Francisco leadership over the death of Lee after news broke of his demise.

“San Francisco recently has a feeling of lawlessness I have never seen anywhere else. I see people doing drugs amidst piles of trash all over town. Speeding cars race recklessly through the city. Traffic stops have been discouraged, from what I understand,” Tandler added on social media. “In certain neighborhoods, any visible items can lure in a thief. Almost everywhere I walk I am avoiding trash and glass. It is not like this in other cities.”
