It was anticipated that at some point in time, the job approval numbers of pro-abortion President Joe Biden would reach a nadir. After all, Gallup had him at 37%. However, this did not occur. In a Messenger/Harris poll conducted by HarrisX, we find that among the 1,464 adults surveyed,
President Biden’s job approval ratings declined from 39% in November to 33% in early December, marking a new 35-month low. This is the key finding of a TIPP Poll conducted among 1,464 adults and completed on Friday. The poll has a credibility interval of +/- 2.6 percentage points.
Among Democrats, two-thirds (66%) approve of the job he is doing as president. In contrast, a majority of Republicans (86%) and a significant portion of independents (64%) disapprove of the president’s performance.
The latest polling data indicates that the Democratic Party has experienced a 7.9-point decline in approval, while the Republican Party has seen a 3.7-point drop to 11.5, and independent voters have fallen 3.0 points. These figures represent an all-time low in approval ratings.
What factors are responsible for this decline?
A majority of Americans believe that the nation is headed in the wrong direction under the leadership of Joe Biden. The survey indicates that only 11% of respondents are very satisfied with the country’s direction, while an additional 19% are somewhat satisfied. In contrast, two-thirds (67%) of respondents are dissatisfied, with 30% expressing not very satisfied and another 37% indicating not at all satisfied. The economy is another key factor influencing satisfaction levels.
The economy is the most pressing concern for Americans, and Biden has demonstrably failed to address this issue effectively. His economic policies, collectively branded as “Bidenomics,” have not resulted in a net improvement in the economic well-being of the American people. According to data, the inflation rate under Biden’s presidency has reached 17%.
President Biden has been criticized for his handling of foreign affairs, particularly in relation to the Israel-Hamas conflict, Iran, the Russia-Ukraine war, and China. Additionally, his performance on immigration has been deemed unsatisfactory, and his ratings on crime are notably low. The report concludes with a cautionary note:
In conclusion, December 2023 represents a pivotal moment in the Biden presidency. Recent polls consistently indicate that Trump is leading over Biden, further substantiating this assertion. A rating below 35% is cause for concern. Despite the advantages of incumbency, Biden may have reached a point of no return, and his chances of reelection appear bleak.
