In a recent revelation by CNN, Joe Biden’s approval ratings are plummeting faster than a lead balloon. Seriously, if approval ratings were a stock, now would be the time to sell. And yes, CNN is the one who is reporting this…you know it must be bad.
According to this poll, former President Donald Trump is widening the gap over Biden with the grace of a gazelle leaping over a puddle. Trump’s unwavering battalion of supporters holds steady at 49 percent, while Biden’s camp has slid from 45 percent to a somewhat less majestic 43 percent since the start of the year.
But here’s where it gets spicy: a whopping 55 percent of respondents have looked back through their rose-colored glasses to view Trump’s first term as a roaring success. Meanwhile, a mere 39 percent believe Biden’s presidency has been hitting the right notes. And by “right notes,” we mean more like nails on a chalkboard for 61 percent who’ve labeled it a failure.
And for those sitting on the fence, the independents, 51 percent are tipping their hats to Trump’s term as successful, whereas only 37 percent are willing to give Biden’s tenure a thumbs up. It’s like watching the unpopular kid trying to win prom king all over again.
The discontent doesn’t end there, folks. When it comes to the economy and tackling inflation, Biden’s report card is looking grim. Imagine receiving overwhelmingly negative feedback in areas critical to easing the day-to-day lives of Americans. It’s like being handed a report card filled with F’s, except there’s no summer school option to fix this mess.
Even on his stronger suits, like healthcare policy and student loan forgiveness, Biden’s efforts seem to be sinking rather than swimming, with approval ratings barely clinging to the mid-40s. And don’t even get me started on his handling of the Israel-Palestine conflict. A mere 21 percent approval rating? That’s not just a red flag; that’s a parade of red flags.
Adding insult to injury, the dismal approval figures include a staggering 81 percent of younger voters disapproving Biden’s stance on the Israel-Palestine issue. Remember, these are the very people who were instrumental in securing his 2020 victory. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
In a nutshell, the CNN poll serves as a harsh wake-up call for Biden and his administration. With approval ratings hitting rock bottom, it seems the honeymoon period is well and truly over. If the current trend holds, Biden might find himself in dire need of a political lifeline. But hey, on the bright side, at least he’s setting records, right? Just probably not the kind he was hoping for.
