Biden’s Approval Rating Drops, Frustration Mounts Over Poll Numbers
President Joe Biden’s Approval Ratings Hit All-Time Low Ahead of 2024 Election
Just when President Joe Biden made headlines for venting about his low poll numbers, he received another reason to fret on Monday, weeks before the start of the 2024 election year in which he is seeking a second term.
The latest public opinion survey by Monmouth University revealed Biden’s worst-ever job performance review since becoming president. Only 34% of respondents approve of his performance, while a staggering 61% disapprove. The survey, conducted from November 30 to December 4, also highlighted Biden’s poor marks in key policy areas, particularly with inflation (68% disapprove) and immigration (69% disapprove).
NATIONAL POLL: @POTUS Biden job rating drops to all-time low since taking office.

According to Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, “The Biden administration keeps touting their infrastructure investments and a host of positive economic indicators. Those data points may be factual, but most Americans are still smarting from higher prices caused by post-pandemic inflation. This seems to be what’s driving public opinion. There is political danger in pushing a message that basically tells people their take on their own situation is wrong.”
The grim findings were disclosed hours after The Washington Post published a report citing insider sources that said Biden and first lady Jill Biden have complained to aides and friends for months about the president’s “dismal” numbers in his approval ratings and polls showing him behind in a potential general election rematch against former President Donald Trump. This reportedly included “stern words” after the National Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon in which Biden pressed aides on what his team and campaign were doing about his poll numbers.

Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, responded to the report, stating, “We do not discuss the President’s private conversations one way or the other. The President and first lady meet regularly with their senior team for updates and to review plans.”
In addition to job performance, Biden is facing concerns about his fitness to serve a second term. At 81 years old, he is already the oldest person to be president, and he would be 86 at the end of a potential second term. His tendency to lose his train of thought while speaking, along with moments caught on camera where he has tripped or fallen over, have raised doubts about Biden’s ability to lead effectively within his own party.
Last month, Biden snapped at a reporter, dismissing the question of his age as “stupid.” He also expressed uncertainty about running for re-election in 2024 if Trump wasn’t also competing, suggesting that “probably 50” other Democrats could defeat Trump in his place. When confronted with polls showing him trailing Trump, Biden claimed people are viewing “the wrong polls.”

The plummeting approval ratings for President Biden come at a critical time as he prepares for the 2024 election. It appears that his handling of key policy issues, such as inflation and immigration, has significantly impacted public opinion. The high disapproval ratings suggest that many Americans do not believe his administration’s assertions about positive economic indicators outweigh the impact of rising prices.
The dissatisfaction expressed by the American public should serve as a wake-up call for the Biden administration. As they focus on infrastructure investments and economic recovery, it is crucial for them to address the concerns surrounding inflation and immigration. Ignoring or downplaying these issues will likely further erode public trust and confidence in President Biden’s leadership.
With the election year just around the corner, it is clear that President Biden has much work to do to regain the support of the American people. The approval ratings serve as a reminder that public opinion can be fickle and that policies and actions have real consequences. If President Biden hopes to secure a second term, he must address the concerns of the American people and work towards tangible solutions that will positively impact their lives.
As the 2024 election approaches, it will be interesting to see how President Biden responds to these low approval ratings. His ability to adapt and address the concerns of the American people will likely determine his chances of reelection. The clock is ticking, and the American public is watching closely.
