Biden and Harris face growing unpopularity, as two polls reveal.
President Biden’s Approval Rating Hits Record Low, Trump Leads in Polls
President Joe Biden’s disapproval rating has skyrocketed to its highest point ever, while former president Donald Trump would emerge victorious in a head-to-head matchup, according to two recent polls released on Sunday.
NBC Poll Highlights
An NBC poll reveals that 56 percent of registered voters disapprove of Biden’s job performance, marking the highest percentage of his presidency. Notably, Biden’s approval numbers are underwater among young voters, women, Latinos, and independents. The poll also indicates a tie between Trump and Biden in a potential presidential matchup.
ABC/Washington Post Poll Findings
An ABC/Washington Post poll delivers even more concerning news for the president. Similarly, 56 percent of respondents express disapproval of Biden’s job performance, but this poll reveals that Trump would defeat Biden by a significant 9-point margin in a 2024 matchup. The poll also highlights that Hispanics, young voters, men, and non-Hispanic Catholics prefer Trump over Biden.
The left-leaning Post attempts to criticize its own poll by suggesting that Trump’s lead may be an outlier. However, the RealClearPolitics polling average shows Trump leading Biden by 1.6 points.
Respondents in both polls express similar criticisms of the president.
Economic and Policy Concerns
Nearly 60 percent of respondents in the NBC poll disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy, while over 50 percent disapprove of his foreign policy. Additionally, about 6 in 10 Democrats desire a primary challenger for Biden.
The ABC/Washington Post poll reveals an even higher number, with 64 percent expressing disapproval of Biden’s economic policies. Furthermore, 62 percent disapprove of his handling of the border crisis, and over 6 in 10 Democrats and Democratic-leading independents prefer someone other than Biden as their party’s candidate.
Unpopularity of Vice President Harris
The polls also indicate that Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats’ most likely alternative to Biden, is equally unpopular. According to the NBC poll, 51 percent of respondents personally disapprove of Harris. In the ABC poll, only 8 percent of Democrats favor Harris over Biden as the Democratic Party’s candidate.
Concerns over Scandals
The NBC poll reveals troubling news for Biden regarding his multiple scandals. A staggering 74 percent of voters express concerns about the president’s “necessary mental and physical health to be president for a second term,” while 60 percent have concerns about Biden’s awareness or involvement in his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
