Biden’s dramatic decline in popularity, even among his party members.
According to the Associated Press, Biden’s popularity rose to just 39 percent, driven by growing economic frustration and concerns about US orientation among his own allies.
In a new poll released Friday, Biden lost 39 percent of his vote, reflecting the challenges he and his party face in the run-up to the midterm elections as they grapple with a number of domestic and international problems.
A poll by the Associated Press and the Nork Public Relations Research Center found that Biden’s popularity has plummeted to a low level during his presidency, driven by growing economic frustration and concerns about the US orientation within Biden’s party.
The poll found that about 20 percent of adults believe the economy is doing well, up from 30 percent last month. Among Democrats, 33 percent said the United States was on the right track, down from 49 percent a month earlier.
Biden’s overall popularity among Democrats is 73 percent, according to a poll on Friday, according to the US-affiliated Hill News website. That figure had never been less than 82 percent in his first year in office. One of the hallmarks of President Donald Trump’s presidency was Biden’s approval among Republicans, even when Democrats and independents gave him poor marks.
Rising costs have plagued Biden and his team for months. Prices for gasoline, food, plane tickets and other goods have risen sharply since last year, and there are few signs that they will fall any time soon.
Joe Biden has enacted a bipartisan infrastructure law to explain how to help communities and strengthen the economy at the local level, but his other spending package, which focuses on childcare, health care and climate change, has stalled in Congress. In addition, supply chain problems have led to a shortage of formula for infants, an issue that the Biden government has taken steps to address.
