Biden Suffers Sharp Dip In Approval As Documents Controversy Bites

US
HomepagePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income NewsForeign Exchange NewsPolitical Market News

US President Joe Biden has seen his approval rating drop dramatically as survey's begin to trickle in based upon data collected since the story that Biden improperly stored classified documents broke earlier this month.

  • According to RealClearPolitics, Biden's aggregated net approval has dropped nearly three percentage points since last week, from -7.6% to -10.5%.
  • The document controversy has erased much of Biden's strong start to 2023 and reversed a trend of rising approval which Biden has enjoyed since the better-than-expected Democrat performance at the US Midterm Elections in November.
  • The Biden controversy may re-open the door for former President Donald Trump after he was seen as losing favourite status to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
  • A Republican operative told the Hill that the Biden document story "...takes a lot of pressure off of [Trump], because Republican voters start to remember that whatever the Democrats accuse Trump of, the Democrats are doing themselves. For Republican primary voters, that’s a big thing.”
