President Joe Biden’s approval rating has been steadily tanking for the last few months. Even so, the depths to which it has plummeted now has at least one Democrat strategist describing the Biden presidency as an “apocalypse.”
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll found that 55% of Americans disapprove of President Biden’s performance while only 43% of voters approve. Of the 55% that disapproves of the Biden presidency, all but 9% strongly disapprove. At the same time, only a bit over half of voters who approve of the Biden presidency express strong approval.
It doesn’t stop there. A poll by Wednesday Economist/YouGov found that only 39% approve of President Biden’s job performance while nearly half of voters disapprove. This poll will likely be particularly alarming for Democrats as it shows that the loss of support comes from within its own ranks. While nearly 90% of Democrat voters said they approved of President Biden for the first half of the year, only 77% do so now. Inflation, the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are given as some of the main reasons for disapproval.
The poll makes it clear that, as one polling analyst has rightly noted, the honeymoon for the Biden presidency is over. When Biden was inaugurated in January 2021, many voters had high hopes for his administration. They looked forward to a more traditional approach to foreign policy as opposed to former President Trump’s tendency to ruffle feathers. Instead, these voters were left with the contempt of allies after President Biden failed to anticipate Afghanistan’s fast fall to the Taliban and plan properly for such a contingency.
Voters who thought the COVID-19 pandemic was on its last legs have been sorely disappointed to find the pandemic is now far from over. Those who hailed the Democrat’s plan to hand out even more free money in “survival payments” are now perplexed and upset to discover that inflation typically results when there is too much money chasing too few goods.
To make matters worse, it does not appear the Biden Administration is doing much to combat these problems. Rather, the nation’s rapport with France has taken a huge hit as President Biden announced it would help Australia build new submarines to keep China in check. COVID-19 vaccine mandates have angered tens of millions who rightly feel they have the right to make their own medical decisions. Progressive Democrats push for a whopping spending bill that would make inflation even worse than it is right now.
Here’s something important to keep in mind: Biden has no floor when it comes to ratings. It’s true that President Trump struggled in the polls as well, but there was a point where he could not sink any further thanks to his rabid fan base. Biden does not enjoy the same fanfare, even from his own partisans. If things keep going this way, he’s in for a rude awakening in the next election cycle.
why is everyone assuming Biden will even be alive and not drooling spit next election cycle?
It should be obvious to everyone he will not last one term. From before he was “elected”
His follow on study couldn’t even get 1% in primary. So I think she is gone as soon as the mantle gets passed
Mr. Biden needs to resign or get the 25th Amendment and get him out he’s ruined everything that we had he’s not going to do any better if he’s going to make it worse is against America treason
Biden and the democrats have shown the Americans who actually watch and read that they cannot be trusted run the worlds largest and most important country. Stopping oil pipeline , keeping economy shutdown , running out of Afghanistan in the middle of night and leaving a huge cached of weapons then stabbing an ally in the back for a submarine deal. Only an idiot could/would condone such a childish or corrupt group of fools.
Gary crayton Agreed Democrats are a corrupt group of fools and should not be allowed to run this country!!!
110% corrupt and they are Democ “RATS”…Rotten rats…
Biden needs tostop advertising that the forth stimuls check has been approved lying to the American people
JOE IS A BAD JOKE. HE IS A TRAITOR AND SHOULD BE REMOVED. HE IS A SNIFFER OF LITTLE GIRLS…A GROPER OF WOMEN…A TOTAL TRAIN WRECK.
THE 25TH AMENDMENT WAS MADE FOR BABBLING DROOLING IDIOTS LIKE SLEEPY JOE.
Everything they touch turns to crap. We are the laughing stock, of the world, and can you imagine Trump not answering questions on important issues ? The press was on him for every little thing, but Joe cannot handle a thing or his VP. Look at the border of Texas ! Joe has to go !
What an embarrassment Sleepy Joe is. He spent 45+ years in government, and still haven’t learned anything. He has decided that he knows what is best for the American people and has turned into a little Hitler. Anyone who disagrees with him is automatically an enemy. He needs to wake up and leave before he, Harris, Pelosi and Schummer totally undo all the good that “The” President Trump did.
I just don’t understand why Bien is still in office. He has done way too much damage and he is not doing any good to or for the American people. He needs to be gone, like months ago.
If Biden Admin was serious about Covid they would not have reversed Border controls – instead they allow Open Borders and release illegals into our communities and Covid and Covid variants to run rapid in America!
The only thing keeping Joe Biden in office is the list of possible successors if he departs before his term expires. Cackling Kamla Harris is even less qualified than Sleepy Joe Biden and if Cackling Kamala throws in the towel, we get Nattering Nancy Pelosi. Great. Just Bleeping Great.
