As Failures Mount, Biden's Approval Rating Takes Dismal Dip
America is not a happy place at the moment…not in the least. This is an anxious and agitated nation these days, thanks largely to the continuous pressure of a number of major issues that our country’s high leadership cannot seem to get right.
From immigration to inflation, and from Ukraine to unleaded gasoline, taxpayers and voters in the United States are concerned about just what President Joe Biden is even capable of at this point, and this approval ratings reflect those concerns.

Higher prices are leading people to say they’re making cutbacks, especially on more discretionary items like entertainment and travel. (That may, of course, have a wider impact on the economy later.) About half are cutting back on food and groceries, and this is especially the case among those with lower incomes.
The Biden administration has appeared unable or unwilling to tackle a great many of these issues, and Americans have noticed. Now the only question is whether or not the Democrats can survive the midterms, and, if not, will they even allow Biden to run for reelection in 2024?
