A new Wall Street Journal poll offers a stark explanation of why President Biden’s support is waning.
“It also illustrates why Democrats are increasingly worried about his prospects, even against an unpopular Republican opponent with whom Biden hopes to draw a contrast.”
“Voters across the political spectrum single out inflation and high prices as a chief complaint about Biden’s presidency, but some also are upset with his broader record on domestic and foreign policy. Many voters couldn’t cite specific Biden administration policies they disliked, but instead channeled a pervasive malaise in the country that they said was difficult to pin down. Several said they were considering supporting an alternative to either party’s front-runner or not voting at all.”
Key takeaway: “More than half the country now thinks Biden’s policies have done them harm and nearly as many voters think Trump’s policies helped them.”
