The approval for Biden collapses: only 22% and in general less than Trump
Although the White House insists that all is well, President Joe Biden's approval rating continues to drop.
According to a poll conducted Wednesday by Quinnipiac University , Biden's overall approval is only 33% and 22% among citizens aged 18 to 34. Furthermore, only 24% of Hispanic voters and 49% of black voters say they believe Biden is doing a good job. Not even the pampered minorities assure him of support.
Although he was elected with the highest number of votes in U.S. history, Biden's support collapsed seven months into his mandate, during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and has also remained low due to the increase in inflation and violent crime.
In the new poll, 64 percent of respondents said they disapproved of Biden's handling of the economy, and 34 percent said inflation is the nation's most pressing problem. Annual inflation surpassed 8% in March and April, a figure critics attribute to Biden's policies. – NY Post
Meanwhile, 59% of respondents said they disapproved of Biden's handling of "gun violence," with 57% supporting stricter gun laws and 92% supporting background checks for all. buyers.
Biden's best category? Covid-19 – with 47% approving of the way it handled the pandemic and 46% disapproving. Then there is the way Biden handled the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with 42% approval and 50% disapproval.
Who likes Biden the most? The elderly, with 43% approval from those 65 or older, and the Democrats, who approve it by a 79% margin.
According to RealClear Politics, Biden's approval rating fell to 39.4% across all major polls.
The Post also notes that Biden's last interview with the press was four months ago, on February 10. Biden fears direct confrontations with the press, perhaps because he no longer feels able to support them.
"I can't think of a parallel situation," Peter Baker, longtime NYT correspondent in the White House, told Politico. “He's the fifth president I cover and the first one I haven't interviewed. They feel neither the obligation nor the opportunity ”.
As the Post notes, at the same point in his presidency Donald Trump had a 42.2% approval rating, while Barack Obama was 48%.
Meanwhile, the mid-term elections in November are approaching and risk handing over the rooms to the Republicans again.
