New poll shows Biden leaving office with approval ratings still buried deep in negative territory
A recent national poll has revealed that President Biden’s approval ratings continue to be deeply negative as he prepares to leave office. The poll, conducted by CNN and SSRS, shows that only 36% of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing as president, while a staggering 64% disapprove. This marks Biden’s lowest approval rating during his single term in office.
As Biden gears up to deliver his farewell address to the nation, other polls by USA Today/Suffolk University and Marist College also show his approval rating remains in negative territory, at 43%. The majority of Americans seem to view Biden’s presidency as a failure, with 61% in the CNN survey and 44% in the USA Today/Suffolk University poll considering it unsuccessful.
When it comes to how history will remember President Biden, opinions are divided. While some believe he will be seen as one of the worst presidents in American history, others think he will be remembered as average or even one of the best. Biden himself has highlighted his achievements in stabilizing the economy, creating new jobs, and addressing issues like the racial wealth gap during his tenure.
Biden’s approval ratings took a hit in the latter part of his term, especially after his handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the surge of COVID-19 cases in 2021. Inflation and immigration concerns also contributed to his declining popularity. As Biden prepares to hand over the presidency to President-elect Trump, it remains to be seen how history will judge his time in office.
Despite Biden’s negative ratings, opinions about Trump, his successor, are also mixed. While some see Trump favorably, others hold an unfavorable view of him. However, there are high expectations for Trump’s economic policies, with many Americans feeling optimistic about their financial future under his leadership.
As Trump prepares to assume office once again, there is a sense of anticipation among Americans about his plans for the economy and immigration. The Marist poll also indicates that a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump’s pledge to pardon his supporters involved in the Capitol riot.
Overall, both Biden and Trump face challenges as they transition in and out of the presidency. The American public’s opinions are divided, and the future of the country remains uncertain as new leadership takes the helm.
