Biden's approval rating plummet to where presidential aspirations go to die
President Joe Biden's approval rating has reached a new low, with recent polls indicating a significant decline in support, even among the Democrat faithful.
Despite attempts to dismiss unfavorable polls by the president and his dwindling numbers of supporters, the percentages reveal a growing dissatisfaction with Biden's handling of critical issues, particularly the economy.
In a poll released on Monday, only 3 in 10 Americans surveyed believed that Biden was adequately addressing the issues most important to them. The results were particularly damning on specific matters, with 68 percent expressing disapproval of Biden's performance on inflation, 69 percent on immigration, and 54 percent on climate change.
53 percent disapproved of his handling of jobs and unemployment, while 52 percent disapproved of his approach to transportation and energy infrastructure, despite it being a major focus of his presidency since the passage of the infrastructure law.
Even among Democrats, the poll reflected a decline in support for Biden's policies.
Only 50 percent approved of his handling of immigration, and 62 percent approved of his approach to inflation.
The survey, conducted from November 30 to December 4, included 803 adults and carries a margin of error of 4.8 percentage points.

President Biden often dismisses polls that show him trailing former President Donald Trump or other potential GOP challengers. On three occasions in a little over a month, Biden has claimed that reporters are not getting the full picture.
During a Chicago fundraiser, Biden assured donors that there were multiple polls showing him leading or tied with Trump. He even distributed copies of these polls to attendees. Yet, the recent surveys suggest a significant decline in public support for the president.
It is worth noting that polls from CNN and The New York Times, published just days before Biden's remarks in November, indicated that he was trailing Trump and other Republican hopefuls nationally by four and five points, respectively.
