The Wall Street\u2062 Journal recently reported that Biden&#8217;s approval rating has hit a new low of 37 percent, the lowest recorded for any 81-year-old president. This is a significant drop \u2062and raises questions about the sustainability of Biden&#8217;s presidency.<\/p>\n<p>What is particularly concerning \u200cfor Democrats is that in the same \u200dpoll, former President Donald Trump emerged as the frontrunner, leading Biden \u2063by four points in a\u2064 head-to-head match and by six points when independent candidates are included. This\u2064 shows that even if Biden were to face off against their despised opponent in the upcoming general election, his chances of success are \u200dnot looking promising.<\/p>\n<p>David Axelrod, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-adviser-lott-trump-votes-subtracted-biden-votes-inflated\/\" title=\"DOJ Adviser Lott: Trump votes subtracted, Biden votes inflated\">senior adviser<\/a> \u2062for former President Barack Obama, shared his worries about these poll numbers on the &#8220;Hacks on \u200dTap&#8221; podcast.

Axelrod fears that these\u200c numbers could indicate a growing\u2063 trend of voters rationalizing their votes against Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Axelrod also criticized Biden&#8217;s \u200deconomic policies, known as &#8220;Bidenomics,&#8221; saying that they have become a burden for \u200dthe president.

Additionally, a higher percentage of respondents believe that Democratic policies have directly\u2063 harmed them \u2063compared to the \u200bnumber who felt the same about Trump&#8217;s policies.<\/p>\n<p>Axelrod also criticized Biden&#8217;s campaign, noting that\u200d it \u2064has been highly distracted and \u200dis lagging behind in solidifying\u2062 support among voters. This is concerning \u2063as \u2063a strong and focused campaign is crucial for success \u2064in any election.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth mentioning that this is not \u200dthe first time David\u200c Axelrod has \u200bexpressed concerns about Biden. In early \u2062November, he urged the party to consider\u200d replacing\u2062 \u2064Biden with another candidate. Axelrod&#8217;s concerns\u200b also\u2062 extend to Biden&#8217;s age and overall health, pointing out that it is late to change horses and that a\u200d lot\u200c could happen in \u2062the next \u2064year that no one can \u200cpredict.
