WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has an election-year message for frustrated voters: At least he’s trying.
For those who think he isn’t doing enough to help Ukraine fend off the Russian invasion, Biden announced $800 million in new military support on Thursday. To ease the pain of high gas prices, he’s tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and reopened onshore sales of oil and natural gas leases on public land. And to address historic inflation, Biden has tried to smooth out supply chain-crimping bottlenecks at the nation’s ports.
The president hopes the moves, which are being announced in near-daily rollouts and in a stepped up travel schedule, will present a contrast with Republicans — who, he argues, spend more time complaining about problems than proposing solutions.
“I mean this sincerely — name me something the national Republican Party is for,” Biden said at a recent Democratic National Committee meeting.
But it’s not clear he’s attracting much support. A new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds just 45% of Americans approve and 54% disapprove of how Biden is handling the presidency. The approval rate in the poll taken from April 14-18 is about the same as last month, but down from the president’s 63% approval rating a year ago.

Kind of surprising that he actually had a 63% approval rating.
That ship has sailed. They own congress and the White House. They have failed at every turn.
Very few people are going to buy what they are selling. The left has gone too far in the last two years and a backlash is coming. They know this and their own pollsters know that blaming Trump or the GOPe is simply not going to work.
I blame the GOP for Senile Joe being in there.
We just lost a TX National Guardsman. Guess it’s Abbotts fault and not Joe.
Lunchbox joe, diarrhea from both ends.
It’s time for a real coup.
America can’t wait .
We are all in mortal danger with these boobs at the helm
Yep, me too
Hell, Obama blamed Bush for all the things he himself screwed up for four years so I guess as far as Joe goes ... Obi-wan Obama has taught him well.
“..We are all in mortal danger with these boobs at the helm...”
we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
It won’t be long before we’ll be seeing the booby President Harris. Now those boobs...well...lets just say they’re “well used”...just ask Willie Brown... LOL
And don’t forget Fox News.
Hey Biden! You break it! You own it!
Who are these people who think Brandon is doing a good job?
800 million dollars to Ukraine but not one cent to protect America from being invaded
Academics, some teachers, union leadership, some government employees
You'd think by age 78 that Xiden would have learned that excuse doesn't wash.
The ONLY thing Xiden is trying to do is destroy the country and the middle class. So far, he's a huge success at that.
That's easy...they are FOR Democrats.
At first I thought this was from the Babylon Bee.
“...name me something the national Republican Party is for,’ Biden said...”
They USED to be FOR everything you’re against and vice versa.
These days, it’s hard to tell!
President Not Me!
