As Biden Approval Ratings Tank, Democrats Worry It Will Weigh Them Down In Midterms – By Nicholas Morgan (IB Times) / May 20, 2022
President Joe Biden hit his lowest approval ratings as his agenda continues to be hampered by obstacles.
Democrats are worried that Biden’s woes will hurt them in the November midterm races.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research poll released on Friday found Biden’s approval rating at 39%. This is the lowest approval rating the first-term president has received in his 16 months in office.
Biden’s approval rating among Democrats fell from 82% in April to 73%. Democrats also expressed pessimism about the state of the country despite a president of their own party in the White House. Only 33% of Democrats expressed optimism about the country’s direction, a drop from 49% last month.
