Those data points may be factual, but most Americans are still smarting from higher prices caused by post-pandemic inflation. This seems to be what\u2019s driving public opinion,\u2019 Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, highlighted. \u2018There is political danger in pushing a message that basically tells people their take on their own situation is wrong.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Murray spotlighted that \u2018there is certainly an element of partisanship in how people frame their own financial situation, which is based in part on who occupies the White House. But even a good chunk of Biden\u2019s Democratic base wish he\u2019d start paying more attention to their top priorities than he is now.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The approval rating is a key indicator of a president\u2019s performance, clout and popularity and is a closely watched metric, especially when an incumbent in the White House seeks a second term. The 81-year-old Biden is running for re-election in 2024.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-media fn-video\">\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"m video-player\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The release of the Monmouth poll comes two weeks after the president stood at 37% approval \u2013\u00a0an all-time low \u2013 in a Wall Street Journal survey. However, a new Fox News national poll released on Sunday indicated Biden\u2019s approval rating at 43%.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s during his first six months in the White House. However, the president\u2019s numbers started sagging in August 2021 in\u00a0the wake of Biden\u2019s much-criticized handling of the turbulent U.S. exit from Afghanistan and following a surge in COVID-19 cases that summer, mainly among unvaccinated people.<\/p>\n<p>The plunge in the president\u2019s approval was also fueled by soaring inflation \u2013\u00a0which started spiking in the summer of 2021 and remains to date a major pocketbook concern with Americans \u2013 and the surge of migrants trying to cross into the U.S. along the southern border with Mexico.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Biden stands far below where his three most recent two-term predecessors \u2013 former Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama \u2013\u00a0stood at this point in their presidencies, as they successfully ran for re-election. The only recent president whose approval ratings were nearly as negative as Biden\u2019s current numbers was his most recent predecessor, former President Trump, who was defeated by Biden in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>Biden once held the upper hand over Trump in 2024 rematch surveys, but Trump began enjoying an advantage over his successor in the White House in most polls starting in October.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, as he was leaving his re-election campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, the president was asked by reporters why he was down to Trump in the latest surveys.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u2018You\u2019re reading the wrong polls,\u2019 Biden replied.<\/p>\n<p>The Monmouth University poll was conducted Nov. 30-Dec 4, with 803 adult Americans questioned by telephone.
