The Gallup poll shows that Biden’s approval rating among Democrats has plummeted from a solid 90% in August to a shaky 79% in September. This decline is particularly noteworthy considering that presidents usually enjoy strong support from their own party, especially during their first term. It seems like even members of his own team are starting to question his leadership.
While Biden’s overall approval rating has also experienced a decline, it’s the sharp drop among Democrats that has grabbed everyone’s attention. The reasons behind this sudden change remain a subject of speculation, but analysts suggest that the administration’s shoddy handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, coupled with skyrocketing inflation and the imminent war in the Middle East, have sounded alarm bells for Democrats. It’s not looking good for Sleepy Joe.
Gallup mentioned that the latest downturn in Biden’s job rating followed the surprise attack on Israel by Hamas militants, resulting in a staggering number of casualties. While Biden did express support for Israel and made a trip to the country to reaffirm that support, some members of his own party criticized him for not doing enough for the Palestinians. It seems like Biden just can’t catch a break with his own people.
Moreover, the Gallup poll also emphasizes a broader trend of declining approval for Biden. In January of his first year, his approval rating sat at a relatively modest 57%. However, by this September, that number had plummeted to a dismal 43%. It’s clear that the American people are losing confidence in Biden’s ability to lead.
As for the implications of this approval decline, the Democratic Party should be worried about their prospects in the upcoming elections. Historically, the party in power tends to lose seats in Congress during midterms, and with a weakened approval rating for President Biden, the Democrats might be in for a rough ride. It’s clear that the American people want change and are losing faith in the current administration. The Democrats better come up with a new plan if they want to stay in the game.
