About 1-in-4 Americans have unfavorable views of both Biden and Trump. This sentiment is more common among younger adults than older adults, and among voters who identify as independents. Only 2% of Americans have a favorable opinion of both, lol. Pew Research
I don't think this is a new normal, however. Trump and Biden are both uniquely unpopular politicians within their own parties. Both parties will probably nominate more popular choices in 2028.
I don’t really disagree, but:
Clinton couldn’t get much less popular among Republicans, 88 percent of whom see her unfavorably. But she’s also lost 8 points in this measure among independents (to 31 percent) and among Democrats (to 79 percent, versus Trump’s 72 percent among Republicans).

I guess Democrats got spoiled with Obama (not that his popularity did them much good downballot…). Perhaps someone more popular than Biden or Clinton, but not as popular as Obama is a realistic hope for the Dems
