Biden’s Approval Ratings Plummet Across the Board, Including Support for Israel vs. Hamas
If there’s one thing Americans can usually agree on, politically, it’s that we’re divided. Radically divided. So divided, in fact, that every Thanksgiving there are countless articles giving us advice about how not to hit your hidebound, conservative uncle or purple-haired, they/them-pronouns-in-profile nephew over the head with an overcooked turkey leg.
Well, rejoice, denizens of the United States. As we approach the holiday season, a new ABC/Ipsos poll finds that Americans are reaching concord on another major political matter: Joe Biden stinks at this whole president thing.
In a survey conducted Friday and Saturday among 518 adults, Biden plumbed new lows in approval in every category the organization polls on and didn’t fare so well, either, on two new and rather pressing categories included in this survey: the war between Israel and Hamas, and foreign policy toward Iran.
“About two in five approve of President Biden’s handling of the war between Israel and Hamas, matching his approval rating on the situation with Russia and Ukraine,” Ipsos said in a news release on Sunday.
“Although a majority disapprove of Biden’s handling of each conflict, his approval rating in these areas is higher than his handling of crime, inflation, immigration, and other key issues in the United States.”
You can say that again. And again. And again.
For instance, let’s start with the economy. In this survey, 36 percent approved and 61 percent disapproved of how Biden is handling things. Compare this with 38 percent who approved in a January survey, or a high of 60 percent who approved in a March 2021 edition of the poll.
On crime: Thirty-three percent approved of how Biden is handling it and 64 percent disapproved, compared with 40 percent approval and 58 percent disapproval in January. It’s worth noting that Biden’s numbers were never particularly high in this category, hitting a high of 46 percent approval in August 2021.
On climate change: Thirty-nine percent approval versus 57 percent disapproval in this poll, 48 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval in January.
On inflation, which we’re constantly told is getting better: Twenty-nine percent approval versus 69 percent disapproval. That was at 31 percent approval and 67 percent disapproval in January. However, to be absolutely fair to the president, this is the only category in which Biden didn’t hit or match an all-time low in the ABC/Ipsos poll. (In December 2021, he only had 28 percent approval versus 69 percent disapproval on the matter.)
Immigration and border security: Twenty-six percent approval versus 70 percent disapproval; that’s a 5 percentage-point movement downward in approval since January. He lopped another 5 percentage points off the approval of his handling of the Ukraine-Russia war, with 41 percent approval now compared with 46 percent approval in January.
And then there was the war between Israel and Hamas, which was roughly a week old when this survey was taken. Those polled already had seen enough that only 41 percent approved of Biden’s handling of the situation versus 54 percent disapproval.
In terms of foreign policy toward Iran — a nation strongly suspected of helping plan and green-light Hamas’ attacks against Israel — only 33 percent approved compared with 62 percent who disapproved.
Americans do not give Biden high marks on anything, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll:
- 26% approval on immigration/border security (net -44)
- 29% approval on inflation (-40)
- 32% approval on gun violence (-33)
- 33% approval on crime (-31)
- 33% approval on Iran…

The margin of sampling error for the survey was plus or minus 4.5 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.
The poll more or less tracks with Biden’s trends in the RealClearPolitics polling aggregate, which had him at a 40.5 overall approval rating and a 54.8 disapproval rating as of Tuesday morning — a negative 14.3 percentage-point spread.
Yes, former President Donald Trump — the leading GOP contender in the 2024 presidential race — remains contentious, and a rematch between the two men would be a close call. That said, America has more or less spoken on Biden, “Bidenomics” and virtually everything else he’s “accomplished” in a little under three years. Conclusion? It stinks.
Yet, this is the alternate reality the Biden White House still inhabits:
Spending on manufacturing construction in America hit an all-time high last month.
That’s Bidenomics.

Folks, the emissions reductions from our Hydrogen Hubs – sites that are generating, storing, and transporting clean hydrogen – will be the equivalent of taking 5.5 million gasoline cars off the road.

Tonight, America says clearly to the Israeli people, to the world, and to terrorists everywhere that we stand with Israel.

In 2020, voters judged Joe Biden on his words. In 2024, they’ll judge him on his actions.
All you need to do is look at the numbers to see America doesn’t believe those words on social media translate to action in the real world.
The United States may be a profoundly divided country, but it’s not a stupid one.

What percentage of respondents approved of Joe Biden’s handling of the immigration issue in the recent ABC/Ipsos poll?
Immigration issue since August 2021.
In summary, Joe Biden’s approval ratings have hit new lows across various categories, according to the recent ABC/Ipsos poll. Americans are united in their dissatisfaction with Biden’s performance as president, particularly in areas such as the economy, crime, climate change, inflation, and immigration. These numbers demonstrate a significant decline in approval since earlier surveys conducted during Biden’s presidency.
Starting with the economy, only 36 percent of respondents approved of Biden’s handling of economic matters, while 61 percent expressed disapproval. This marks a decrease compared to earlier surveys in January and March 2021, where approval ratings peaked at 38 percent and 60 percent, respectively.
In terms of crime, 33 percent approved of Biden’s approach, while 64 percent disapproved. These figures indicate a decline in approval ratings since January, where 40 percent approved and 58 percent disapproved. However, it is essential to note that Biden’s numbers have never been significantly high in this area, with the highest approval rating reaching 46 percent in August 2021.
Regarding climate change, 39 percent of respondents approved of Biden’s actions, while 57 percent expressed disapproval. In comparison, the January survey showed 48 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval. This indicates a decline in approval ratings on this issue as well.
When it comes to inflation, which is often claimed to be improving, only 29 percent approved of Biden’s handling, while 69 percent disapproved. It is worth mentioning that this is the only category in which Biden did not reach or match an all-time low in the ABC/Ipsos poll. In December 2021, his approval rating for inflation was at 28 percent, with 69 percent expressing disapproval.
With regards to immigration and border security, just 26 percent of respondents approved of Biden’s handling, while 70 percent disapproved. This shows a 5-percentage point decrease in approval since January. Additionally, Biden’s handling of immigration has experienced another 5-percentage point decrease in approval since August 2021.
Overall, the findings of the ABC/Ipsos poll indicate a widespread disapproval of Joe Biden’s performance as president. Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with his handling of key issues, including the economy, crime, climate change, inflation, and immigration. These numbers highlight a significant decline in approval ratings since the early stages of his presidency. As the nation approaches the holiday season, it is clear that Americans are united in their belief that Joe Biden stinks at his role as president.
