US President Joe Biden’s approval rating fell three percentage points this week, a bad sign for his party, the Democrats, who are preparing for a tough fight in the November 8 midterm elections, an Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of of the Reuters news agency and was broadcast by the latter yesterday Tuesday.
A key finding of the two-day survey is that 38% of Americans approve of Mr. Biden’s performance in office. Despite reaching 41% last week, his approval rating has remained below 40% for the longest time since June, despite a string of legislative victories for Democrats in Congress that the party hopes will prevent it from losing its narrow majorities in the House of Commons. two houses of Congress in November.
Democrats risk losing control of the House of Representatives and even the Senate in the showdown. Losing control of even one of the two chambers would signal the paralysis of efforts to implement Mr. Biden’s agenda. In the event that the Republicans win the majority in the House, they may also initiate various politically bloody investigations.
Mr. Biden’s approval rating remains below 50% as of August 2021, as many Americans struggle to cope with inflation and the problems of an economy that has yet to recover from the crisis of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Mr. Biden’s low of 36% in four polls (in May, June and July) approached, though fell short of, the popularity levels of his predecessor, Republican Donald Trump, who had slumped to 33 % in December 2017.
When asked what they consider the country’s most important problem, most answered that it is the economy (a third of Republicans, a quarter of Democrats). For Republican supporters (1 in 10), the next most pressing issue is either immigration or crime. For Democrats (about 1 in 8), the second most important issue is the environment or (for 1 in 10) the Supreme Court’s June end of abortion rights nationwide.
The rolling national poll was conducted online, in the English language, among a representative sample of 1,005 adults, of whom 449 said they supported the Democrats and 357 supported the Republicans. The margin of statistical error is ±4%.
