President Biden’s popularity amongst voters is continuing to drop as the country goes into the second year of his presidency. New polls show that Biden’s approval rating had sunk to new lows as he also suffers setbacks with his Build Back Better agenda and inability to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Hill reports:
The new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found that Biden’s approval rating has sunk to 41 percent, a historic low for the president in polls conducted by the groups. Fifty-five percent of adults in the U.S. disapprove of the job Biden is doing as president.
When broken down by party, 29 percent of independents polled said they strongly approve or approve of the job Biden is doing, while 66 percent said they strong disapprove or disapprove.
Eighty-seven percent of Democrats and just 4 percent of Republicans gave the president positive marks for the job he is doing.
Biden’s most recent approval rating is a slight decline from 42 percent in a poll released on Dec. 9. His approval for the polling groups peaked mid-April, when 54 percent of adults gave him positive marks.
However, while the Biden administration continues to struggle with low approval ratings other pollsters show that voters are once again turning their support over to Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly hinted at a third presidential campaign, teeing himself up for a rematch against Joe Biden in 2024.
A recent poll by Insider Advantage reported Trump with a commanding lead over current President Joe Biden.
