USA: The popularity of President Joe Biden equaled its nadir history

Its popularity American chairman Joe Biden fell to 36%, fell for the fourth consecutive week, equaling the lowest level of his term, which he had reached in May, according to a poll conducted by the Ipsos Institute on behalf of the Reuters news agency and broadcast from last Wednesday (22/6 ).

The popularity of the Democratic remains below 50% from August 2021a fact that suggests his party is likely to lose control of at least one of the two houses of Congress in the November 8 by-elections.

34% of Americans consider the economy to be the most important problem facing the United States today. Mr Biden is being bullied by rising inflation as the Russian invasion of Ukraine boosted fuel prices and caused new disruptions to global supply chains that had not yet recovered from the new coronavirus pandemic.

In the ranks of his party, the popularity of the Democratic Party fell marginally: 73% of Democrats say they approve of the president’s work this week, a marginally lower than the 74% recorded on June 15, but dramatically below 85% last August. Only 7% of those who say Republicans support the performance of the veteran of American politics (from 11% on June 15).

Only 18% of Americans believe that the country is heading in the right direction.

Mr Biden’s popularity is approaching, but it has not yet reached the level of that of his predecessor, Republican Donald Trump, which fell to 33% in December 2017.

The national poll was conducted online, in English, on a representative sample of 1,002 adults, of whom 435 said they were Democrats and 379 Republicans. The statistical error margin is ± 4%.
