Biden Approval Remains Underwater During Key Week For Democrats

WHITE HOUSE

US President Joe Biden's approval rating remains near record lows amid voter concerns of rising inflation and energy prices.

  • This week will be vital for Democrats as they try to rescue the president's approval rating ahead of the midterms.
  • Three key actions in Congress this week may improve Biden's approval rating. 1. The confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. 2. Passage of the popular tech and China competitiveness bill, and 3. Passage of a new COVID-19 relief package.
  • In an additional attempt to invigorate the Democrat base, the White House invited former President Barack Obama to the White House - ostensibly to speak on the Affordable Care Act but it is likely that the event was designed to remind voters of the continuity between the Obama and Biden administrations.
