Recent reporting identified President Joe Biden as suffering his lowest approval numbers from voters at around 37.4%. Americans say they’re dissatisfied with the current administration because of multiple issues, which ae causing the dwindling approval rating. Some of the top issues include the economy, immigration, impeachment efforts, and allegations against his son, Hunter Biden.
The Economy
Many Americans are frustrated with the current economic situation. They believe their wages are not increasing in line with the rising cost of living. Some feel they are working mainly to pay bills, further exasperating their discontent with Biden's policy. Accusations around Biden favoring special interests and corporations over everyday people are also adding to the negative sentiment.
Immigration
Concerns around immigration policy and border security, particularly related to the U.S.-Mexico border, are contributing to Biden's low approval rating. Biden has been criticized for the problems persisting at the border despite his rule change and executive orders.
Impeachment Efforts
Some discussions focus on efforts by Republicans, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others, to impeach Biden. This has sparked debate around the validity and evidence behind these efforts. Many express frustration at the perceived pettiness and partisanship of these moves even as they have been largely unsuccessful.

Family Ties
Hunter Biden’s business dealings have also drawn scrutiny and criticism. Some Americans believe not enough is being done to investigate Hunter Biden and that Joe Biden should be held accountable too. Conversely, others point out that Biden has not interfered in ongoing investigations or litigation involving his son, showing integrity and respect for the justice system.
Israel-Palestine
Many online discussions highlight divisions in the Democratic Party regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Democratic voters will likely continue to be split by this conflict, especially with no ability to offset emotional stressors which have helped drive the abysmal approval numbers.
Establishment Sentiment
There is a significant amount of misinformation and extreme views circulating, some accusing Biden of totalitarian rule and election fraud, even leading to aggressive and threatening comments.
Furthermore, the prevalent perception that Biden is not doing enough for the American people seems to be negatively impacting his approval rating. Whether accurate or not, this perception can influence how people view his performance, which is reflected in polls.
Democratic Perspectives
While his supporters are vocally in favor of President Biden amid dropping approval ratings, their reasons are less nuanced and not universal.
- Dismissive: Many argue President Biden is a “clean politician,” capable of shaking off any negative allegations.
- Mainstream Media’s Fault: Some blame Biden's unpopularity on factors such as media exaggerations and hypocrisy.
- Reality Check: Some admit Biden faces a tough battle in countering these negative perceptions.
Issues that will likely continue impacting Biden’s approval include:
- Continued border crossing numbers in the face of Biden’s meager response to control the border.
- CPI and other inflation reporting continually adjusted.
- Democratic National Convention nominating Joe Biden as the presidential candidate via Zoom.
