New polls indicate trouble for Biden, potential landslide for Trump.

Bad News for President Biden: Americans Disapprove ‌of His Job Performance

Two recent polls have delivered a blow to President Joe Biden,​ revealing widespread disapproval of his job performance and even suggesting he would lose​ in a ‍hypothetical rematch against former President Donald Trump.

According ⁣to a Washington Post-ABC ⁢News poll released on Sept.⁢ 24, if the 2024 presidential election were held‌ now, President Trump would defeat Biden by⁢ a substantial margin of 52–42 percent.

Furthermore, President Biden’s disapproval rating ​has reached its⁣ highest point at ⁤56 percent, while his approval ⁤rating stands at a ⁢mere 37 ⁣percent.

President⁣ Trump Gains Ground and Approval

In contrast, President Trump’s​ approval rating has actually ‌increased ⁤since leaving office, reaching 48 percent—matching his highest rating during his presidency. His‌ disapproval rating‍ has also decreased ‍significantly, dropping from 60 percent ‍following the Jan. 6 Capitol breach ⁣to 49 percent.

Another poll released by NBC News on ⁢the same day showed President Biden with a 56 percent disapproval rating, but the Trump-Biden matchup was a close tie, with each candidate receiving 46 percent of the vote.

This marks an ⁤improvement for President Trump since June, when the same poll ‌showed him losing to Biden by a margin of 45–49⁣ percent.

Both polls also agree ⁢that⁢ President Trump is gaining support among Republican⁢ voters as he seeks the party’s presidential nomination for a third time. His primary support has ‌jumped from 51 ⁤percent in ⁤June to 59 percent, giving him a significant ‍lead‍ over his closest competitor, ⁢Florida⁤ Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Doubts‌ and Concerns

Respondents in both surveys⁢ expressed low confidence in President Biden’s handling ⁣of key ‍issues. His foreign policy decisions, management of the southern border, and particularly his handling of the ⁢economy received widespread disapproval.

Despite ‌this lack of enthusiasm, President​ Biden has been actively promoting his economic policies, assuring the public that “Bidenomics” is working. However, concerns about his declining health have also been raised.

At 78 years old, President Biden was already the oldest person to assume the presidency. If‍ he were to win ​a second term, he would leave⁢ office at‍ the age of 86, which worries nearly three-quarters of voters, according to the NBC ‍News survey.

Media Downplays Results

The Washington Post-ABC News poll has faced criticism from some media outlets, including the Post itself, as it presents a different picture of the presidential race compared to other recent polls.

While the poll has been labeled an outlier due​ to ‌its ⁤sample including more Republican-leaning voters,⁢ the⁣ Trump campaign has seized on the results to highlight the former president’s support among Republicans and ⁢to undermine Ron DeSantis’ campaign.

President Trump himself criticized ABC News for not properly reporting the survey’s results,​ calling it ‌an example of “Fake ⁤News.”

Despite the negative findings in these polls, it remains to be seen⁤ how public opinion will evolve ⁣as the 2024 presidential ⁣election approaches.

Americans Dissatisfied‌ with Biden’s Handling of Key ​Issues

The dissatisfaction with President ​Biden’s job performance can be attributed to ⁢several key issues. According to the​ Washington Post-ABC News poll, Americans are particularly dissatisfied with his‍ handling of the economy and the situation at​ the southern border.

When​ it comes to the economy, only 42 percent⁣ of​ Americans approve of Biden’s performance,‍ while a significant majority of 55 percent ⁢disapprove.⁣ This ⁣is concerning, especially as ⁤the country continues to grapple ‌with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and attempts to ⁤recover‌ economically.

The situation at the southern border​ has also been a contentious issue. Biden’s handling of immigration policies has received criticism from both sides ‍of the political spectrum. According to the poll, 50 percent of ​Americans disapprove of his handling ⁣of immigration,‌ while 38 percent ⁤approve.

Possible Implications for Biden’s Presidency

The widespread disapproval of ⁣President Biden’s ​job performance​ poses significant challenges for his presidency. With a disapproval rating of ‌56 percent, Biden faces an uphill battle in garnering support ⁣for his policies and initiatives.

Furthermore, the⁢ hypothetical rematch⁣ poll ‌against former⁢ President Trump is a ‌cause for concern. If the election were held⁤ today, the data suggests that Trump would ‌emerge as the victor, defeating⁢ Biden by a substantial margin. This indicates that Biden may be struggling to maintain the support and‍ confidence of the⁤ American people.

However, it is crucial⁣ to note that these are just snapshots of public opinion ⁤at ‌a ‌particular moment in time. Public‌ sentiment can shift and evolve throughout a presidency. President Biden still ​has ⁢time ⁢to address the concerns and improve his standing among Americans.

Conclusion

Two recent ‌polls have highlighted the disapproval‍ of President Biden’s job performance‍ and a possible defeat in a rematch ​against former President Trump. The data suggests that Americans are dissatisfied with his handling of key issues such⁤ as the economy and immigration. It remains to‍ be‌ seen‌ how President Biden ⁣will navigate these ​challenges and⁤ regain the support‌ of ⁢the American people.
