Biden’s job approval nears record low with 70% disapproval on immigration handling: Poll
Majority of Americans Disapprove of President Biden’s Performance and Handling of Immigration
Recent polling reveals that nearly 60% of Americans are not satisfied with President Joe Biden’s performance, while almost 70% disapprove of his handling of immigration. These numbers paint a challenging picture for the president as he faces a re-election campaign.
Disapproval on Multiple Fronts
According to a Gallup poll conducted from February 1-20, Biden’s overall approval rating stands at a mere 38%, with 59% of Americans expressing their disapproval. The poll also highlights his struggles in key areas such as immigration, foreign policy, and the economy.
Gallup reported on Friday that Biden’s approval rating has dropped three percentage points, nearing his all-time low of 37%. This puts him well below the crucial 50% threshold that historically leads to re-election for incumbents. Since August 2021, his approval rating has not surpassed 44%, making it the second worst among post-World War II presidents elected to their first term.
Concerns over Ukraine and the Economy
Only 40% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of Ukraine, while 53% disapprove. Biden has emphasized his commitment to aid Ukraine, setting himself apart from former President Donald Trump. However, Trump’s promise to bring peace between Ukraine and Russia within days of taking office has left some skeptical.
When it comes to the economy, just 36% of Americans approve of Biden’s approach. Rising inflation has impacted everyday items like food, gas, and housing, leading to a 61% disapproval rating for his economic policies.
Challenges with Israel-Hamas Conflict and Immigration
Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict has faced criticism from both sides. Sixty-two percent of Americans disapprove of his approach, with Republicans accusing him of being too critical of Israel and some Democrats claiming he has been too lenient.
However, the most significant disapproval comes in the realm of immigration. A mere 28% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the issue, while a staggering 67% disapprove. The surge in illegal southern border crossings has been a major concern, with Biden claiming limited ability to address the situation. Democrats have attempted to shift blame onto Republicans, who rejected a bill that aimed to provide funding for immigration security but was criticized for potentially exacerbating the problem.

Despite speculation about Biden’s potential replacement as the Democratic nominee, his approval among the party has remained relatively steady.
Gallup found that Democrats’ overall job rating of Biden stands at 82%, higher than their approval for any specific issue. However, this overall approval falls short of the near-unanimous support he enjoyed during his first 11 months in office. Nevertheless, his party’s approval has remained unchanged since November, even as his ratings on specific issues have declined.
How has President Biden’s handling of the situation in Russia affected his approval rating among Americans?
Raine and Russia remains unfulfilled, and Biden’s handling of the situation has not impressed the majority of Americans.
Another major area of concern is the economy. While Biden inherited a challenging economic landscape due to the COVID-19 pandemic, his policies have not been well-received by the American public. The inflation rate has soared to its highest level in decades, causing increased prices for goods and services. This has resulted in 66% of Americans disapproving of Biden’s handling of the economy, compared to only 30% who approve.
Immigration Challenges
Perhaps the most significant issue contributing to Biden’s low approval ratings is his handling of immigration. Despite campaigning on promises of a more humane approach to immigration, the situation at the southern border has deteriorated under his administration. The number of border crossings and apprehensions have reached historic highs, leading to overcrowded detention facilities and overwhelmed border patrol agents. Nearly 70% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of immigration, reflecting widespread concerns about border security and the impact of unchecked immigration on the country’s resources.
Critics argue that Biden’s decision to reverse many of Trump’s immigration policies without a comprehensive plan in place has resulted in the current crisis. The lack of clear messaging and effective solutions has left many Americans disillusioned and frustrated.
Challenges for the President
As President Biden gears up for a potential re-election campaign, these low approval ratings pose significant challenges. Winning over the majority of Americans will require concrete actions and tangible improvements in key areas such as immigration, the economy, and foreign policy.
It is worth noting that all presidents face periods of low approval ratings during their terms. However, Biden’s numbers are especially concerning given the current political climate and the upcoming mid-term elections. The potential for a shift in power towards the opposition party looms large if Biden cannot effectively address the concerns of the American people.
Conclusion
The majority disapproval of President Biden’s performance and handling of immigration underscores the challenges he faces as both a leader and a potential candidate for re-election. As the public expresses concerns over key areas such as immigration, foreign policy, and the economy, Biden must listen to the American people and take decisive action to address these issues. The coming months will be crucial in determining the trajectory of his presidency and the future of American politics.
