The results of the polls raised a warning signal in the Democratic Party. This is because, in addition to the widespread disapproval, the Washington PostABC also indicates that former president and Republican Party candidate Donald Trump would beat Biden by a margin of 10 percentage points 52% to 42%. The NBC poll shows a tie, with each candidate receiving 46% of the preference.
Research shows that disapproval is primarily due to economic factors. Speaking to The Washington PostABC, 91% of respondents said food costs are a negative factor in the Biden administration, while 87% feel the same about gas and energy prices.
The survey also said 74% of respondents expressed concerns about the economy and 75% were dissatisfied with their salaries.
NBC reported that 59% of Americans disapprove of the state of the economy, while 50% said they were “very dissatisfied” with the economy. When it comes to US foreign policy, the poll shows that 53% disapprove of Biden’s behavior. In January of this year, this rate was 50%.
