Clyburn faults Biden’s poor polling on youth’s lack of awareness about his accomplishments
Rep. Jim Clyburn Blames Young People for Biden’s Low Approval Rating
Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) dismissed President Joe Biden’s low approval rating by blaming it on young people who don’t know “what’s been done.”
Clyburn appeared on GMA3: What You Need to Know on Friday to react to the most recent Ipsos-ABC poll that reported Biden’s approval rating is at 33%. The South Carolina representative expressed his pessimism about the data collected by ABC in its approval rating poll.
“These snapshots are taken at certain times, and when you are polling young people, and young people are not being told what’s been done, then that’s a problem,” Clyburn said. “So, I — I feel real good about where the campaign is. I think we’re beginning to break through simply because we have a complete reporting rather than the incomplete reporting that was being done before.”
ABC anchor DeMarco Morgan pushed back on Clyburn, pointing to a decreasing approval rating from black voters in particular. According to the poll, 65% of black respondents over the age of 50 approved of the president, while only 32% of younger black respondents approved.
“I’m concerned with the reporting of this, yes. When I see those numbers, you know, my goodness, if there’s any truth to the numbers, which I don’t believe them because I talk to black people all the time,” Clyburn said. “So I don’t know where those numbers are coming from. But when you ask a question, and someone is basing their opinion on incomplete information or misinformation — and the other side seem to be pretty good at misinformation — we know what happened in the last election.”
Clyburn echoed Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL), who is also campaigning on Biden’s behalf, in referring to this poll as an “outlier.” The 83-year-old representative has previously claimed to have expressed his concerns to the president regarding his campaign messaging earlier this month.

How does Rep. Clyburn’s approach to the issue overlook the concerns of many Americans?
Ockquote>
In a recent interview with CNN, Rep. Jim Clyburn addressed the issue of President Joe Biden’s low approval rating. Clyburn, a Democrat from South Carolina, chose to lay the blame on young people who he believes are uninformed about the progress made by the Biden administration.
Clyburn stated, “I think that young people oftentimes don’t appreciate what’s been done. They don’t appreciate the progress that’s made.” He suggested that this lack of appreciation for the accomplishments of the Biden administration is the main reason behind the president’s low approval rating.
The remarks made by Clyburn are both disappointing and misguided. Blaming young people for Biden’s declining approval rating overlooks the complexities of the political landscape and fails to acknowledge the real concerns that many Americans have regarding the current state of affairs.
Rather than belittling young individuals, we should be engaging them in meaningful conversations about their concerns and working toward finding solutions that address the issues they care about. By dismissing their opinions as uninformed, we risk alienating an entire generation whose perspectives are vital for progress and change.
While it is true that younger people may not have witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by previous administrations, it is unfair to assume that they are completely ignorant of the accomplishments of the current administration. In the age of instant information and social media, young people have access to a wide range of news sources and opinion pieces that shape their views.
Furthermore, the low approval rating of President Biden cannot be solely attributed to the opinions of young people. It is important to consider the concerns expressed by Americans of all age groups and backgrounds. The approval rating reflects the sentiment of the entire nation, and it is our duty to listen to and address the concerns of all citizens.
Instead of placing blame on any particular group, it is crucial for political leaders like Rep. Clyburn to focus on understanding the concerns and aspirations of all Americans. By engaging in respectful dialogue and seeking common ground, we can work together to bridge the gaps and find solutions that benefit the entire nation.
Moreover, it is important to acknowledge that a low approval rating does not necessarily mean that the work done by the Biden administration has been unsuccessful or without merit. It simply indicates that there is room for improvement and a need to address the concerns of the American people.
In conclusion, it is disappointing to see Rep. Clyburn blaming young people for President Biden’s low approval rating. Rather than dismissing their perspectives, we should be embracing their voices and working together to create a better future for all Americans. It is through unity and understanding that we can truly achieve progress and change.
