According to a New York Times from March, only one in four voters thinks the country is moving in the right direction. Meanwhile, more than twice as many voters believe Biden’s policies hurt them personally.
Looking back at Biden’s time in office so far, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, 61% say his presidency so far has been a failure, while 39% say it’s been a success. That’s an increase of four percentage points since March.
In the YouGov/Economist poll, 68% believe things are out of control under the Biden administration, while 16% think things are under control.
Also, in the poll, voters pointed out inflation and prices as the major issues of Biden’s administration.
Biden has an approval rating of just 29% regarding his handling of inflation. At the same time, 61 % are disappointed with how he has approached the problem.
In another poll, Trump leads Biden in North Carolina, Nevada, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania. These states, with their combined 93 electoral votes, will likely determine the outcome of the 2024 election.
