The president of the United States went down in popularity among the citizens of his country
The president of the United States, Joe Biden, ended his first year in the White House with a clear majority of Americans for the first time against his administration, in the face of a persistent pandemic and skyrocketing inflation, according to a new poll by The Associated Press- NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
More Americans disapprove of Biden’s work than favor it, 56% vs. 43% . Right now, just 28% of Americans want Biden to run for re-election in 2024, including 48% of Democrats.
Asked at a news conference on Wednesday about his low popularity, Biden replied: ” I don’t believe the polls .”
In July, 59% of Americans said they approved of Biden ‘s job in an AP- NORC poll . His approval rating fell to 50% by September, following the chaotic and violent US military withdrawal from Afghanistan and amid a surge in coronavirus infections and the government’s problems in passing economic, fiscal and infrastructure measures in Congress. .
The latest poll shows that Americans’ confidence in Biden’s handling of the pandemic – seen as a strength early in his presidency – has further eroded as the omicron variant strains the health care system and further strains Americans. an electorate confident that life had moved closer to normal by now.
