It is only six months until Election Day, and Joe Biden’s poll numbers continue to fall. He is now at his lowest approval rating in more than two years.
The latest bad news comes from the most recent Reuters/Ipsos poll… and it must be remembered that this is a left-wing poll, so he is likely doing worse than the poll says.
According to the poll, only a tiny 36 percent approve of Biden’s job performance as president. This ties with the worst polling of his presidency from July of 2022, Reuters reported.
The poll laid out Biden’s weaknesses as well as a few strengths. The state of the economy was seen as the top issue, picked by 23% of respondents as the most important problem facing the country. Some 21% saw political extremism as the top issue and 13% picked immigration.
Some 40% of respondents in the poll said Trump, who was president from 2017 to 2021, had better policies for the U.S. economy, compared to 30% who picked Biden, while the rest said they didn’t know or didn’t answer the question.
Trump had a significant edge on immigration, with 42% of respondents preferring his approach to the issue, while 25% picked Biden.
Biden had a modest advantage on the issue of political extremism, with 34% of respondents picking the president’s approach and 30% saying Trump was better on the issue.
Respondents said they thought Trump had the better approach to foreign conflicts and terrorism, with 36% favoring Trump in that area, compared with 29% who favored Biden.
This is not just bad news for Biden, it is also bad news for the Democrats down ballot who need a popular Biden to help get their own voters into the voting booth in Nov.
