Biden is fading…
President Joe Biden’s approval rating sank to a new low in a Marquette University Law School poll released this week.
According to the survey of 1,063 adults across the country, just 34% of the country approves of the way Biden “is handling his job as president,” while 66% disapprove, putting him underwater by a shell-shocking 32 points.
That’s the worst net approval rating Biden has posted in the poll since taking office. It appears that the president’s decision to go back on his word and pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for any crimes he may have committed over a more than decade-long period, may have contributed to his plummeting popularity. Just 29% of respondents said they approved of the pardon, while 71% disapproved.
Fifty-three percent, meanwhile, say that they approved of the way President-elect Donald Trump handled his job during his first term in office.
The plunge in the president’s approval was also fueled by soaring inflation – which started spiking in the summer of 2021
Biden has not achieved a positive net approval rating since July 2021. His previous low of -30 came this summer.
The president’s approval stands in the mid-30s to low-40s in the latest national surveys, including the most recent Fox News national poll, where Biden stands at 41% approval.
The president has faded from the news cycle over his last half-year or so in office after he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race in late July
