Biden Disapproval Rises to 61 Percent, 65 Percent View Economy Negatively.

Joe Biden’s approval rating has dipped three points to 38 percent compared to December in AP/NORC polling, while disapproval is up two points to 61 percent.

The share of adults who view the economy negatively is down by four points but still stands at 65 percent overall, compared to 35 percent who view the economy positively. Opinions on Biden’s handling of the economy are similar, with 64 percent disapproving of his performance against 35 percent who approve.

Views on Biden’s performance overseas are also poor, with 60 percent saying he is managing relations with China badly. In terms of foreign policy in general, disapproval stands at an even higher 62 percent.

The AP/NORC polling on Biden, the economy, and foreign policy follows Morning Consult polling that puts Donald Trump ahead of the incumbent nationally and in all seven swing states.

Swing state voters seem particularly aggrieved by the Democrat’s performance on immigration, with six in ten Morning Consult respondents holding him responsible for the crisis at the southern border.

Biden Presidential Approval Rating Drops to Near 20-Year Low.

Joe Biden’s presidential approval rating has plummeted to a near 20-year low, according to a new ABC/Ipsos poll.

The Democratic president currently sits at 58 percent disapproval and only 33 percent approval — the worst presidential approval numbers since George W. Bush between 2006 and 2008. The poll also revealed that just 57 percent of voters who lean Democratic would be satisfied with Biden as the Party’s nominee in 2024.

A deeper dive into the poll results sheds some light on why. As the border crisis rages on, only 18 percent of respondents support Biden’s handling of immigration — the lowest number on record since ABC began polling the issue in 2004. Biden is also facing high disapproval numbers due to his mishandling of the economy. Seventy-one percent of those polled said the economy was bad, with nearly half saying they are worse off now economically than when Donald Trump was president. Overall, 56 percent of people disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy.

President Biden is also hemorrhaging support among younger minority voters. While Biden maintains a 65 percent approval rating among Black people aged 50 and up, he has only a 32 percent approval rating among Black people younger than 50. His approval rating with Black people in general is 21 points below average, and among Hispanic people, it is 15 points below average, according to the poll. Biden has also seen women abandon him. Although he received the vote of 57 percent of women in 2020, he now only has the approval of 31 percent.
