President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are especially low when it comes to the economy, according to the latest Associated Press/NORC poll. Just 36 percent of those surveyed said Biden is doing a good job handling the economy.
The Biden administration pushed hard this month to convince voters that his initiatives—termed “Bidenomics”—have positively impacted the economy. Americans aren’t buying it.
The A.P./NORC poll was conducted between August 10-14 and surveyed 1,165 American adults.
Overall, 42 percent approved of the job Biden has been doing as president.
“Both figures are close to where Biden’s approval numbers have stood for about the past year and a half,” notes A.P. “Signs of an improving economic outlook have done little to sway how people feel about the Democratic president as he gears up for a 2024 reelection campaign that could pit him against his predecessor and 2020 opponent, Republican Donald Trump.”
