President Joe Biden's approval ratings are especially low when it comes to the economy, according to the latest Associated Press/NORC poll. Just 36 percent of those surveyed said Biden is doing a good job handling the economy.
The Biden administration pushed hard this month to convince voters that his initiatives—termed "Bidenomics"—have positively impacted the economy. Americans aren't buying it.
The A.P./NORC poll was conducted between August 10-14 and surveyed 1,165 American adults.
Overall, 42 percent approved of the job Biden has been doing as president.
"Both figures are close to where Biden's approval numbers have stood for about the past year and a half," notes A.P. "Signs of an improving economic outlook have done little to sway how people feel about the Democratic president as he gears up for a 2024 reelection campaign that could pit him against his predecessor and 2020 opponent, Republican Donald Trump."
For most of his presidency, Trump routinely received relatively good ratings for his handling of the economy, and they often exceeded his overall approval ratings. These numbers did start to slip, however, as the pandemic wore on in 2020.
The worst news for Biden concerns his 2024 presidential bid: Only 24 percent of all poll respondents said they want to see him run for president again. More than half of Democrats surveyed—55 percent—do not want to see Biden run again, though 82 percent said they would support him if he does.
Among Democratic poll respondents, Biden got a 65 percent approval rating on the economy and a 76 percent approval rating overall.
Younger Democrats were more likely to disapprove on both fronts, with only 52 percent of poll respondents ages 18 to 44 approving of Biden on economic issues and 68 percent approving of his job overall.
Around two-thirds of younger Democrats surveyed said they don't want to see Biden run for president again.
In contrast, Trump's presidential run has relatively strong support among Republicans, even after several criminal indictments.
The A.P.-NORC poll found 63 percent of Republicans want to see Trump run for president again, up from 55 percent who said as much in April.
But while Trump may engender more loyalty among the GOP than Biden does among Democrats, 53 percent of people in the A.P.-NORC poll said they would "definitely not" vote for Trump, with another 11 percent saying they would "probably not" vote for him. Only 43 percent said they would definitely not vote for Biden, with another 11 percent saying they probably wouldn't vote for him.
One would have to be “Dumb as a Democrat” to buy Bidenomics.
Tell us that 2 Novembers from now.
Biden has no actual plans to really, really run in 24, one strongly suspects. (It's a guess, but a pretty good one.)
Dear GOPers, please watch out for a last-minute bait and switch (that's been planned for a long time.)
Biden is sending billions to Ukraine and mere scraps for the people of Hawaii. They voted for all their democrat leaders in Hawaii and now they are paying the price. You can’t fix stupid.
That's not true. Biden is skimming most of the money that Congress voted for Ukraine, the Ukraine is only getting scraps.
No, they know there is no value like an incumbent. Even if Biden is in a coma, he will run. He spent the first time in the basement.
“Americans Not Buying Bidenomics”
- they can’t afford it...
Just 36 percent of those surveyed said Biden is doing a good job handling the economy.
Sad. One third of Americans living on handouts.
“Americans Aren’t Buying ‘Bidenomics’ “ because it costs too much....
They would say that no matter what. 40% of us pop is die hard socialist. Then the subset as you said living off tue wealth redistribution. So not hard to see 36%.
Biden has staked his reelection on convincing a wary struggling public that the US economy is rock solid ....... all because of his policies.
Even more proof Joe Biden needs professional help.
Fact is, he has such a case on himself......thinks he can do no wrong.
Our economy is horrible.....he’s driven us into record inflation by his reckless spending then tries to take “credit” for things he had nothing to do with ....or things that aren’t true.
He even stupidly labels his failures a success, calling the mess he’s put forth “Bidenomics” (as though that were something to be proud of).
But there’s only so much you can spin, and there’s no getting away from the facts.....now some of those facts may just have caught up to Joe Biden.
Biden’s freaking out b/c US credit rating is downgraded
blamed on his mind-numbing “erosion of fiscal management.”
The problem is he doesn’t spend any time on the economy.
We’re learning Biden spends most of his time
<><>on his grooming,
<><>taking naps
<><>doing favors for a price for our foreign adversaries,
<><>sucking up to the Chinese
<><>opening secret bank accounts,
<><>enriching his crime family
<><>phoning 6 out of his 7 grandkids,
<><>hiding out at his various mansions in Delaware......
And his most impossible task....trying to remake whoring
cokehead Hunter into some semblance of a human being.
The gdp maybe growing very slowly but most of the added value is going into the pockets of government bureaucrats. Very little of it is going to mom and pop.
Americans can barely afford to buy ANYTHING under the Disastrous Joe Biden Administration....
Americans Aren’t Buying ‘Bidenomics’. So to fix it they will elect another Democrat. Works every time its tried.
p
Some are ... fools, Democrats and the insane.
It would be interesting to see some demographics on those that approve of Biden’s handling of the economy. Are they retired? Do they work? If they do, what do they do for the living? What is their yearly income? If they don’t work, how long have they been living in mommy’s basement and what’s their favorite video game? That’s just a few interesting questions.
“Overall, 42 percent approved of the job Biden has been doing as president.”
Either lying or dumber than a box of rocks.
we’re not buying it, but,
we’re sure paying for it...
