Disapproval rating for President Biden hits record-high of 58% in new poll
President Biden’s disapproval rating is the highest it’s ever been as the 80-year-old incumbent president vies for a second term in office, according to a new poll.
A record 58% of Americans do not approve of Biden’s performance in the White House, a CNBC survey released Wednesday found.
The president received particularly low marks for his handling of the economy – 32% approve – and foreign policy – 31% approve.
Among Democrats surveyed, 66% back his handling of foreign policy, and 74% approve of his work on the economy. Those results were well below his 81% overall approval rating from members of his own party.
“You don’t get sub-40 approval ratings without losing large chunks of your base. And that’s what’s happening here,” Republican pollster Micah Roberts told CNBC.
